...Clyde, about writing them by co-authoring Shampoo, about directing them by sharing that job on Heaven Can Wait-and with each try won an Oscar nomination. But none of these films prepares one for his achievement here. It is as if he had the taken Reed's credo as his own:"Go on-the limit!" Warren Beatty: artist-adventurer...
...these were schlock-horror flicks; in fact, many were attempts (however confused) at esoterica, disdained in commercial Hollywood.

Or, they admit, they "could get fed up with the whole routine." In the meantime, they hope to save money from this summer's tour for a trip to Australia this winter and perhaps Europe next year. What they and others seem to desire more than anything else is constant variety. Coffey was once a cabinet maker, Val Alstyne "a three-piece, nine-to-five...
