CALUCCI'S DEPT. CBS. Friday, 8-8:30 p.m. E.D.T. New York Stage and Film Actor James Coco (Last of the Red Hot Lovers) has the mournfully expressive eyes of a wise old beagle and the roundly appealing face of an anemone in full flower. As Calucci, the head of a local unemployment office, he mobilizes these attributes to create a sweet and believable character who does not need the script's occasional overkill in what the trade calls "heart" scenes. Samples: an oh-so-wistful, what's-life-all-about dialogue in a confessional...

Sitting down at the same corner table, he picked up the morning newspaper and began sipping his coffee. After a polite pause, he was approached by local businessmen and politicians, who, one by one, stated their business, received their reply, and moved on so the next man could have a chance. The ritual sometimes took as long as 2½ hours...
...Italian Gatsby look, has drawn on the Fitzgerald era since he first started designing ten years ago. "It was a cultural high-water mark in fashion, decorating, literature, painting," he contends. "Actually, nobody has done anything new since. Everything is still based on Chanel of around 1925." (Designer Coco Chanel revolutionized fashion for both sexes in the early '20s with her loose-fitting, casual styles...
