...essentially a flat variation on Swept Away-with all of that hit's flaws intact but none of its wit, passion or eroticism. Giancarlo Giannini, looking understandably enervated, is back again as a macho Italian Communist; this time his sexual-political antagonist is the terminally weepy Candice Bergen, who plays his radical-chic American wife.

The accompanying interview, with Liz Smith, is in a seemingly unedited question-and-answer format that often rambles, full of generalities. In this case, however, writer and subject are friends of long standing so they have a rapport lacking in some of the other pieces. You may not agree with Schumacher's most profoundly...
