...Coming Home, An Unmarried Woman and Dear Inspector, for the European version of feminism, are using more subtle tactics than having John Wayne sweeping some broad off her feet. They are choosing instead to try and let women do themselves in, while their male counterparts sit back, calm, cool and liberated...
...Girardot is so charmingly obsessed with her career that it is difficult to see her as anything but a female detective. They are all uninspiring people, leaving you sitting in your seat, as the lights come back on, feeling depressed and ashamed. You long for Laren Bacall's cool, (oh, so cool) figure, lighting a cigarette for Bogart under the bar with one swish movement, finally winning his affection in To Have and Have Not through pure, unadulterated strength (remember that word?). Or Katherine Hepburn in Adam's Rib carrying out a masterful delivery on the plight of abused wives...
Britons also reveled, mostly at a distance, in the opening last month in the venerable Ritz Hotel of London's newest and most elegant casino. More than 350 guests, including the Countess of Suffolk, the Baron de Montesquieu and the prince of thespian cool, James Mason, consumed 300 lobsters, 25 Ibs. of beluga caviar and 50 cases of Dom Perignon champagne while inaugurating wheels and tables that insouciantly accommodate $8,000 wagers at a clip.

Well, fellas, he said, just loosen your ties. But the look he proposed was wrong anyhow. When a businessman in full regalia removes only his tie (retaining the dark shoes, the suit, the shirt buttoned...
...belt punch of Exile, despite low-down tunes and sulfurous lyrics. Keith Richards often sounds as if he is going to burn his fingers off on the guitar. Charlie Watts' drumming rolls all the way between a fondle and a mugging, and Mick Jagger sings with spirited cool. The problem may be that after all this time, the brimstone is dying out. The Stones, as ever, are looking to stun and outrage. But whether they are singing little anthems to S-M (When the Whip Comes Down), deflating stereotypes (Some Girls) or giving the finger-pop to overbearing paramours...
