...camera he may not seem the type, but on-camera Richard Burton cuts a fine figure as a priest. After playing a man of the cloth on a devilish mission in Exorcist II: The Heretic, Burton has once again put on his cleric's collar, in Absolution. This time he plays Father Goddard, an opinionated Jesuit priest at a Roman Catholic boys' school in England. Trouble arises when his favorite student tells him in confession that he has committed murder. To get away from such traumas, Burton likes to relax on the set by tossing a cricket ball...
Southbound, the Crescent serves dinner both evenings of the trip (the first night, until 10:30 p.m.). "Dinner in the diner/ Nothing could be finer." Well, almost. Each table is dressed with linen cloth and napkins, heavy silverware and a vase of three fresh yellow chrysanthemums. The fare runs to excellent Southern fried chicken with cream gravy, roast beef and steak; there are hot breads and lemon pie. One couple does object testily when the steward is unable to produce a corkscrew for the bottle of Moulin-á-Vent '76 they had brought to table. It turns out that...

Clad in yellow plastic blankets, lined with cloth, the athletes who had gone the distance came to the garage for the start of the recovery period. For some, that recovery was uneventful--just a question of imbibing some food and drink and getting off their abused feet. For others, the end of the race was torture...
...particularly pretentious 1974 James Caan vehicle about a dedicated schoolteacher with a fatal weakness for making dangerous bets. Toback's new film is about a dedicated concert pianist (Harvey Keitel) who runs dangerous missions for his Mafia father. Both movies are cut from the same synthetic Dostoyevskian cloth, but Fingers actually manages to be more obnoxious than its predecessor. Perhaps the reason is that Toback wouldn't stop at writing the new film; he had to go on and direct it as well...
