...film is a gift to his actors from director Claude Miller (who, with Luc Beraud, adapted Nina Berberova's novel) and from the actors to the receptive viewer. Safonova is a blond vision of grace under all kinds of pressure. But the fresh revelation is Romane Bohringer, daughter of co-star Richard Bohringer. A solemn beguiler, she perfectly embodies pent-up passivity as it longs for the golden chains of an enslaving passion...
Before the revisionist My Fair Lady opened on Broadway, Richard Chamberlain went on the warpath, trying to get his co-star sacked in favor of her understudy. Without having seen the understudy -- but having endured Melissa Errico's hapless Eliza Doolittle -- one can be sure Chamberlain was right about her. Rarely has a plum Broadway role been so ineptly handled. While Errico sings gloriously if unimaginatively, she is an unconvincing Cockney whose linguistic foibles wobble from syllable to syllable, quite a handicap in a show about the social importance of accents. She is plausible only in two feminist-flavored moments...
...very good moment for Neeson. Anna Christie brought him not only Schindler's List but also a leading lady, Natasha Richardson, who became his lady love. They plan to co-star in a film of Therese Raquin and a stage revival of Miss Julie. "Liam has this gentleness and strength," she says. "He can cry like a baby and fight like a bear."

Jeffrey Katzenberg, who runs Disney, brings his kids in for brunch during the summer. Julia Roberts, Sean Penn and Robert Altman have all stopped in from time to time. Even Bill Clinton has dropped by -- twice, in fact, first as a jogging candidate, and then in full presidential mode. "If you want to run into me or ICM's Jim Wiatt or Jeff Katzenberg...
Larroquette's co-star from Night Court, Harry Anderson, is just as understated and engaging in CBS's Dave's World. This is a rare sitcom that exists to showcase not a star but a writer. Anderson plays humor columnist Dave Barry, a beleaguered family man facing a classic baby-boomer problem: trying to raise three kids while grappling with the realization that he is no longer a kid himself. He sings I Am the Walrus in the shower (then looks at his body and exclaims, "I am the walrus!"), and can't get up the fatherly gumption to force...
