What will Nutcracker bring? Most likely a more conventionally fleshed-out story. While At Mother's Request focuses mainly on the murder and subsequent investigation, the NBC version will provide a fuller portrait of Frances' life (Lee Remick will play the role). It may even try to make some psychological sense out of the whole sordid affair. But for sheer perversity, At Mother's Request will be hard to beat...
During the first half of 1986, Mandela had three visits from the seven- member Eminent Persons Group, which the Commonwealth countries sent to South Africa to try to advance a negotiated settlement. Mandela told the group that he was confident he could unify the rival black organizations and bring them into talks with the government.

But then in October came 400 more, decreed by Tisch, followed by an additional...
...film Murphy is discovered -- promisingly -- as a tracer of lost children in low-life Los Angeles. But he is immediately hired by an oriental religious cult to find the golden child of the title, their missing messiah who they believe will bring peace to this tired, troubled world. The cult is all serenity and acceptance; Murphy can't get a rise out of them. And it turns out that the evil he is fighting comes from the supernatural agents sent up from Hades to kidnap the child. Hard to trade quips with a bunch of special effects that mostly seem...
