...More True Romance Why no mention of once, the best love story of the past few years [Aug. 20]? Steven Spielberg said it gave him enough inspiration to last the rest of the year. How about an article on this little film that is hanging on in a few theaters by the skin of its teeth? How good and how successful does it have to be before your writers will notice it?
