...Baby Doc" is the youngest President and most implausible statesman in the world. His country, with its 3.5 to 5 million wretchedly impoverished black and mulatto peasants -no one knows exactly how many there are-has long been a pariah of the Western Hemisphere, ripe for almost any sort of political chaos.

The pace is so slow that the real Doc Holliday could have dealt a hand of poker during each halt in dialogue. But Stacy Keach manages to suggest some depth in the Holliday character, and Harris Yullin, as Earp, slithers through his scenes like a genuine sidewinder. Playing Kate Elder, Faye Dunaway is better than she has been since Bonnie and Clyde, raunchy and touchingly haunted...
