...Your Handkerchiefs. Named Best Film of 1978 by the National Society of Film Critics, this film is a big hit with the Perrier Crowd, and it's packed the Welles since the opening. Reminiscent of Cousin, Cousin in its playful attitude toward sexual improprieties, Get Out Your Handkerchiefs fails to develop its characters much behind their pretty faces. Solange, the heroine, has three lovers: two are buffoons, her husband and a stranger he recruited to cheer her up, and one, a thirteen-year-old boy, is sensitive to her need for friendship. The plot is inconsistent, the jokes are obvious...
Murder By Decree. Fog, dense and lush, curling its way through London alleys and along seedy docksides, obscuring the face of Big Ben himself, and wrapping around the skirts of chilled and hapless prostitutes...A sinister black coach drawn by sinister black horses into a sinister black night...Inside, one of Britain's most famous Victorians slowly savors the edge of a jeweled dagger, and waits...A delicious setting for first rate sherlock holmes sleuthing, but unfortunately Sherlock Holmes never shows up--Christopher Plummer does. Dressed in the right clothes, and equipped with the best Dr. Watson ever, Plummer...

...office revenue simply doesn't cover the Met's costs, so its management has turned to audiences outside of the house to try to make up the difference. Over the last two years--during which the Met budget has been relatively untroubled--the national campaign has succeeded in a big way. The "Texaco-Metropolitan Opera Radio Network" has been broadcasting Saturday matinees from the Metropolitan Opera House for the last 39 years, but the series of live telecasts begun in 1976 has proved a spectacular stimulant to contributions...
Then there are Fred Shero's Rangers. A few weeks ago, the Manhattanites were a big, fat, ugly question mark over the playoffs. But their impressive romps over Philadelphia--winning 7-1, 5-1, 6-0 and 8-3 after losing game one in OT--have Islander fans on edge...
