...ANOTHER CHANNEL, a blue cross rises against a carefully arranged background of metal streaks meant to represent light. Three adorable blond children clad in Lacoste shirts stand in front of it. The program is ending, and after a short pitch for contributions, it is back to the Nabisco Dinah Shore Golf Tournament...
...Alice Ford, Soprano Katia Ricciarelli sang with a lustrous tone that matched her resplendent blond beauty and sparkling stage presence. Hers is a voice that can both beguile with gentle lyricism and blaze with the incandescence of a high-spirited diva. Other noteworthy performances came from American Mezzo Brenda Boozer, who made a lively Meg Page, and Soprano Barbara Hendricks and Tenor Dalmacio Gonzalez, who sang touchingly as the young lovers. British Director Ronald Eyre kept the action crisp; he was correctly content to execute the composer's wishes, rather than impose a fashionably idiosyncratic view...
...inveterate spa-hoppers. They are accustomed to the "pamper places," where guests are practically carried to exercise class, and they find life at Canyon Ranch irritatingly spartan. They are especially cross about being asked to think. "We have to choose our own classes here," whines one. The quiet blond in the corner has been here for six months and has lost 100 Ibs.

And for the budget-conscious, Priscilla Ogilvie, 15, who is one of the agency's "new faces," is available for a relatively modest $875. Prices...
...still squirms at the thought of "that kind of thing." Even the film's eminently sensitive director. Robert Towne, finally succumbs to provincial homophobia--it won't be giving away much to say that at the end of Personal Best. Hemingway "reforms" and takes for a lover a handsome blond male swim champion. Girl meets girl. Girl gets girl. Girl loses girl. Boy gets girl. Audience breathes big sigh of relief. And it's really too bad, because with a little more courage. Towne could have made what is now a very good and sometimes beautiful film, into a great...
