Unbeknownst to the trusty helper Bartha, his query actually captures the essence of the burden placed on the spectator in seeing this half-assed movie. Who in fact wants to go down a creepy tunnel of a movie? I don’t think you do. Personally, I wish I had not. Or at least I wish I that tomb had something a lot cooler inside than this crap...
...Other participants in this all-star gathering of scientists, artists and business leaders weighed in with likely benefits from the advances in genomics. University of Montreal law professor Bartha Knoppers, for example, pointed out that they could lead to greater mutual understanding among peoples by illuminating how narrow our genetic differences really are. ?We could finally realize our ideal of the family of man,? she said. Similarly, with recent identification of more genes associated with Alzheimer?s, Harvard?s Rudolph Tanzi predicted substantial progress in the search for a treatment for this devastating disease. ?The news is good,? he said...

So when Elwell also promises to get the cigarette girl her job back, Sidney pimps Rita to him. The three of them wind up in Sidney's office, with Elwell...
...Sidney, whom Susie rightly pegs as having a "clever little mind," is always being outsmarted: by Rita, by a columnist (Lawrence Dobkin as Leo Bartha) whom he tries to blackmail into running an item, by Hunsecker and finally by J.J.'s sister. Sidney - who we know is making a hefty $250 a week, just from two clients we hear complain to him during the movie, so is probably earning much more - is a cheapie who won't wear a topcoat on a winter night: "And leave a tip in every hat-check room in town?"
