...drove away. Was it a calculated hit or the demented act of a lonely psychopath? Police took all the usual steps: examining fingerprints on one victim's car, retrieving a spent shell casing, checking local gun shops for recent purchases of semiautomatic weapons and stopping commuters along Dolley Madison Boulevard in hopes of finding further witnesses.

Yet an impressive cast -- Jeremy Irons, Alec Guinness, Sinead Cusack -- cannot lift this PBS American Playhouse adaptation much above elegant name dropping. Despite snatches of Ragtime-esque fantasy and an ending that pays homage to Sunset Boulevard, the drama is hobbled by an old plot: crass Hollywood grinds down true artists, told once more with less feeling...
