...MOST WINNING PART of this winning picture is the deeply felt characters that writer and director Barry Levinson has sketched out. Most complex, perhaps, is Fenwick (Kevin Bacon), whom we first see punching out window panes at a dance because on a whim he has just sold for five dollars the girl he brought. At first he seems like a typical 1950s tough, who is alternating between boasting and acting morose, playing sick practical jokes on his buddies, and finally flipping out at a nativity scene, stripping to his short and insisting on playing little baby Jesus. But Fenwick...
...that wall, Ahab storms. Hamlet mulls. Molly Bloom says yes yes yes. Keats looks into Chapman, who looks at Homer, who looks at Keats. All this happens on a bookshelf continually-while you are out walking the dog, or pouting or asleep. The Punic Wars rage; Emma Bovary pines; Bacon exhorts others to behave the way he never could. Here French is spoken. There Freud. So go war and peace, pride and prejudice, decline and fall, perpetually in motions as sweeping as Milton's or as slight as Emily Dickinson considering the grass. Every evening Gatsby looks at Daisy...
...arrest-by their pets' peculiarities. Your cat lurks in the dark attic just when you thought you were alone. As a form of endearment, he may jump on your shoulder from the top of the refrigerator. He may refuse all food until you cook the same kind of bacon-and-cheese sandwich he enjoyed a week ago. He will, in the meantime, deposit a variety of dead and near dead things at the back door and stalk away for a nap. He may shred the antique silk draperies or decide that the shower stall is a Bauhaus litter...
...four pennies, about the worth of a lamb. By the 17th century, however, the devil, unwelcome and omnipresent, had been doing his worst through the feline. In 1699, for instance, at the Swedish town of Mora, 300 children were accused of employing demon cats to steal butter, cheese and bacon. Fifteen of the children were killed, and every Sunday for a year, 36 were whipped before the church doors. By the mid-18th century, the cat was back in favor. Frederick the Great thought so highly of cats he made them official guards of his army's stores...
...chicken sandwich that will be on sale in 60% of the chain's 6,500 units by year's end. Rival Burger King is now selling a sandwich-style version of veal parmigiana. And Jack in the Box has a growing line of Supreme sandwiches, including ham, bacon, lettuce and tomato garnished with alfalfa sprouts and served on whole wheat bread...
