...restaurant, a handsome, prematurely gray lawyer, Edward Pell, is enduring a meal of fried chicken and french fries. Pell lives in Greene, Rhode Island but comes to New Hampshire "five or more times a year." His interest in politics is greater than normal because he is a cousin of Rhode Island's Democratic Senator, Claiborne Pell.

...Your Handkerchiefs. Named Best Film of 1978 by the National Society of Film Critics, this film is a big hit with the Perrier crowd, and it's packed the Welles since the opening.

Terry Malick's Days of Heaven was wonderful. There's Dolby for you. And camerawork--Zsigmond again in places, and Haskell Wexler. Believe it or not, that movie taught me a lot about cinema...about compositions, how to use a moving camera, color...That's the best movie of the year, better than Malick's Badlands, too. His best. I loved Brooke Adams. Real odd, distinctive...
