Edward is the innocent other, a literary type that stretches from Kaspar Hauser to Being There's Chauncey Gardiner to E.T. -- and to the heroes of Burton's Beetlejuice and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. When the Avon lady brings him into her spectacularly bland neighborhood, she unawares sets his creativity on a collision course with her friends' anxious conformity.
