...Sweden's most handsomely crafted exports are the medium-powered Volvo and the high-powered entertainer Ann-Margret, 40. Volvo is the Latin word for roll. Ann-Margret, on the other hand, increasingly stands for rock. If there were any doubt, the strawberry-blond performer from Valsjöbyn (pop. 150), Sweden, dispelled it last week when she returned to her homeland for her Swedish debut. Ann-Margret relied on a hip-grinding medley of contemporary rock favorites and old-fashioned Las Vegas showmanship, unpackaging an act containing seven male dancers, three back-up singers, a 26-piece orchestra...
...provides the audience with its favorite (American) kind of entertainment, while soothing consciences about any collective guilt. These men are good; They are soldiers, not Nazis, Mostly they are dark-haired, Southern-spoken.

Often cast as a glamorous schemer, Bruce scored an early triumph in 1932 as an adulterous maid who shared her favors with villainous Chauffeur John Gilbert in Downstairs (she married him the same year). A veteran of 55 films, Bruce is best remembered for her portrayal of a chorus girl in The Great Ziegfeld...
...less, and marries Laurel (Diane Tarleton). A year later, Arnold and his new lover Alan (Paul Joynt) pay a visit to the new couple in their farmhouse in Vermont, and Ed finds himself confused again. He is still attracted to Arnold; he is sorely tempted by Alan, the blond, all-American boychik; and he is in love with his wife. The permutations are both hilarious and touching, and Fierstein has appropriately staged the whole piece in one giant...
