...ultra modern dance takes classical ballet and turns it inside out. Twyla Tharp catches each tradition and turns it into a hilarious joke. With music by Fran, Joseph Hayden and Joseph Lamp and a confident, clever set of dancers. "Push Comes to Shove" was a smashing hit. Tuesday night Danilo Radojevic. Marianna Techerkasky and Susan Jaffe led the ballet although Cheryl Yeager and Clark Tippet each made substantial contributions to the dance's success...
...Naja," says Prey, and gloomy Faust retreats. He seems constitutionally incapable of becoming too morose. After all, when pressed, he admits that one role he would really like to sing is neither a villain nor a victim but the dashing hero of Lehar's The Merry Widow: Count Danilo, the high-spirited habitue of Maxim...
...David, Tom and Danilo were the best of friends. And they all loved the same girl." David (Michael Huddleston) is a fat, funny Jew, welded by family tradition into his niche as a middle-class mortician. Tom (Jim Metzler) is tall, quiet, athletic, a reluctant ladykiller; he goes to Viet Nam and brings back a native wife and two children.

Pop songs, love beads, Jack-and-Jackie beachballs, deranged assassins-all are strip-mined for significance. The performers (excepting Reed Birney as a gentle, doomed aristocrat and Natalija Nogulich as Danilo's one stalwart love) display little charm, conviction or screen presence. But the intensity of Tesich's obsessions can ennoble his clichés about love of family, friends and country. And Penn, a poet of domestic sexual tension, stages illuminating vignettes to express what the script or actors...
...Popeye's did, since the comic's creator, Alex Raymond, was the most movieish of illustrators. His space fantasies are replicable on a sound stage, because they consisted largely of art deco architecture, primitive emotions and sexy states of undress. One gets a sense that Production Designer Danilo Donati had fun recreating Raymond's visions, that Writer Semple's script was lettered into balloons, and Director Hodges kept a pile of old comic books on hand to suggest setups...
