...question about it, Burns has all the picture's good lines and bits, which is only right, considering his role. The script is well crafted by Writer Gelbart, working from a novel by Avery Corman. They give us a Supreme Being capable of admitting his mistakes (ostriches, for example, and avocados), taking pleasure in his successes ("That's profound," somebody says when God manifests his wisdom at one point; "Sometimes I get lucky," responds the deity). Called upon to prove his powers by changing the weather, he makes it rain only inside the skeptic's car, there...
MacGraw also praised the defensive line of Julie Corman, at left wing, Aryle Singer at point, Laurie Benton at cover point, and Lisa Chang at the other wing spot. "Julie just played her usual game, consistent and phenomenal," she said...
...This one sounds implausible, but everyone from George Eastman (collaborating on a version of The Fall of the House of Usher) to Roger Corman (Tales of Terror) has done Poe, so who knows.

The only real satisfaction Nicholson was to get from any of these films, besides a salary, was the chance to insert a little underhanded humor. He once had the smallest running part in The St. Valentine's Day Massacre-a chauffeur. Nicholson ad-libbed a single line of dialogue to steal a scene. While a hoodlum rubs some foreign substance on the ammunition, Nicholson...
