...lyrics are from her new album, Emotion, and to promote it she made her first video, which debuted last week (with Kris Kristofferson, 45, as her unbilled costar) on Entertainment Tonight. Since what's new is neo and what's hot is retro, the 6-min. clip for the song Left in the Dark features La Streisand as a vampy songstress in an Edward Hopper-style nightclub and in a '50s film noir setting. For Streisand, to compose a slight variation on an old theme of hers, the way she is is never...
...Rick Rosenthal starts the film off slowly; the first quarter of the movie up to Palmer's arrival in Paris bears an embarrassing resemblance to three or four well-known television sitcoms. But Paris allows him to hit his stride, and move the movie along at a comfortably fast clip. The script by Jim Kouf and Jeff Greenwalt would not, by itself, bust any guts, but then again, with Conti on their side it does not have...
...lack of incisive exchange between the opponents reminded us that the debates are not actually debates, but serial press conferences. A real debate is judged by the campaigns to be too dangerous--there's no telling what outrageous clip the networks might run. That prompted us to think back to the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates, when the two U.S. Senate candidates squared off in seven three-hour debates before Illinois crowds as large as 15,000, using no amplification. It's impossible to imagine candidates trained to think in 15-second sound bites in the setting of a real debate...
...images: descriptions of Los Angeles chicanos lounging on street corners in zoot suits; burn victims without skin; deferred civilians earning $200 a week in safety; infantrymen dying for $40 a month; a sign on Buchenwald's gate that identifies the death camp as zoological gardens; Operation Paper Clip, the innocuous code name for expediting U.S. citizenship for useful ex-Nazis. We are told that millions of dollars in trucks and equipment were dumped into the sea after victory, and we hear a general say that the $811 it cost to process a displaced person was expensive...
...strange vignettes only confirmed what most Western analysts have suspected: Chernenko is in precarious health. In an effort to determine the extent of his illness, CIA experts have been running the Soviet-made clip of his Sept. 6 appearance through a sophisticated film analyzer, frame by frame. Their conclusion: snippets were cut from the film to eliminate some of Chernenko's more obvious stumbles and trembling. Although an exact prognosis cannot be made from a piece of celluloid, it is clear, says a senior British diplomat, that Chernenko "does not look like a man with too long...
