Reynolds is soon offering aid and comfort to a damsel in distress. She is Sally Field, playing an industrial-show dancer who has deserted a yokel groom on their wedding day. He is a hopeless dummy, but his dad is not. His dad is, in fact, Jackie Gleason, portraying Buford T. Justice, a self-advertising legend among backwoods peace officers. He is determined to recapture Field for his boy. There is an endless chase, funnily staged by Needham. With the help of many CB friends, girl and brew are safely delivered from evil...
...clients, Robert Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) and Newscaster Charles Collingwood. Since then, Josephson has built I.C.M. into a $30 million-a-year multinational company, embracing agents, a concert-booking bureau and a TV station. His 2,250 clients include Actor Laurence Olivier, Playwright Tennessee Williams, Musician Isaac Stern and Dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. Josephson's empire has grown so vast that he now spends most of his time delegating and supervising, although he stitches together immensely complicated deals (current project: a sequel to Gone With the Wind). "His astuteness is with procedure, and he has an accounting machine in his head...

The quartet grinds through quick bouncy jumps, erotic hip gyrations and military marching with equal indifference. A girl bouncing a ball begins the work; a lone ball bounding across stage ends the dance. A lady behind me aptly remarked, as one dancer laid her head on the shoulder of another, "I'd be tired too, if I'd been jumpin' around like that...
...styles that a major rock guitarist has assembled in a while. The fuzzed-out vibrato of his riffs on "Let the Children Play" provides a sharp contrast with the intricate acoustic guitar performance that highlights "Verao Vermelho," a song that somehow seems incomplete without a castanet-clapping flamenco dancer and a few serenading gitanos strumming away in the background. "Revelations" unveils still another Carlos Santana, a Carlos who has lent an attentive ear to the mournful strains of the great blues guitarists like B.B. King and Muddy Waters. This eleven-song album thus delivers much more than just another helping...
