...World Theater, the 6-ft. 4-in. Keillor is now chest-deep in an army of young Hawaiians, the 49 members of the Kamehameha School glee club. Singer Kate MacKenzie, a.k.a. Sheila, the Christian Jungle Girl, rushes up to check a cue. Sound men and stagehands circulate. Buster the Show Dog signs autographs, in the person of Actor Tom Keith, who also does the voices of Father Finian and Timmy, the Sad Rich Boy, motor and siren noises and dandy skyrocket effects...

"It's pretty cumbersome," says Connery of the tommy gun, one of the weapons he carries when he teams up with Crime Buster Eliot Ness, played by Kevin Costner (Silverado). But the tommy gun is one of the few things the Brian De Palma movie has in common with the vintage TV series, which ran from 1959 to 1963 and featured a jailed Al Capone. In the film, for example, Capone, played by Robert...
