...chorus girl who saves the show by secretly advancing him money and then going on when the temper amental star (Van Devere) incapacitates herself. The juvenile she falls in love with -he is an accountant who composes a hit score overnight-is played by Barry Bostwick, who is also a gangster in Dynamite Hands, which wins for him the versatility award for this picture and serious consideration as a very promising newcomer...
...want something light and fun, try Movie, Movie. Larry Gelbart co-wrote it, and he's good (see how fast I've fogotten Oh, God?), and the cast includes George C. Scott, wife Trish, George Burns (Oh, Shit), Barry Bostwick ("Asshole" of Rocky Horror fame and a good Broadway actor), and Kathleen Beller, who just played a terminally ill girl in a movie filmed in my home town of West Hartford, Connecticut (thank you), and who swam very naked in The Betsey.

Rita Moreno is an animated delight as the amorous prey of a slickly narcissistic cad (Laurence Guittard). and George Rose lends his customary authoritative presence to the role of the autocratic shop owner with a heart of fudge. As for Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, they...
...show evolves in play-within-a-play fashion from an opening square dance, and the book, lyrics, music and choreography mesh delightfully to create the mood of innocent bawdry and rustic high jinks. A handsome highwayman, Jamie Lockhart (Barrie Bostwick), wrests a rich plantation owner's purse from some of his robber competitors and restores it to him. The grateful recipient (Stephen Vinovich) invites Jamie home to meet his daughter Rosamund...
