...most original Hollywood picture. Like so many other recent works produced by the film-school generation, this is at heart a movie about movies, and about the innocent thrills a sophisticated team of craftsmen can elicit; it should give pleasure to stouthearted children, as well as to Ph.D.s in cinema studies, and in the bargain share the laurels of summer box-office smash with the inevitable Indiana Jones.
