...adapting Richard Price's tough novel, has no use for dramatic efficiency or synthesis. Besides Stony's story, he tells in lavish detail the histrionic tales of the hero's psychotic mother (Lelia Goldoni), his anorectic kid brother (Michael Hershewe), his sexually troubled dad (Tony Lo Bianco) and his defeated uncle (Paul Sorvino). Newman, like Price, wants to make a larger sociological point about the breakdown of oldtime immigrant values in chaotic modern America, but he overstates the case. Bloodbrothers has so much narrative, most of it melodramatic, that every scene becomes a climax, every speech...

...Beverly Hilton for some salmon mousse and fillet. Just as they were sitting down in their gowns and tuxedos, an equally elegant bunch was drifting out of Manhattan's Tavern on the Green, where Superagent Irving ("Swifty") Lazar had invited 200 of his closest friends-including Bianco Jagger, Truman Capote, Polly Bergen, Yul Brynner, Walter Cronkite and Lee Radziwill -to help him celebrate his 70th birthday and to watch the awards on ten television screens. But, as they used to say in Brooklyn, wait'll next year and the 50th...
Mick Jogger, take note. That gun-steel gaze and pistoleer's pose belong to your wife Bianco. But relax-she's not thinking about your nights on the town during the Rolling Stones' tours. She's working in Flesh Color, a movie by Belgian Director Francois Weyergans...
