...costume flexibly, allowing the masks to suggest rather than to define possibilities. He realizes the unanticipated. As a voice in flat monotone recites to end Berio's score: "We must collect our thoughts, for the unexpected is always upon us, in our rooms, on the streets, at the door, on a stage...

Then his old partner (played by Howard Duff, who was Sam Spade on the radio in the old days) arrives gut-shot at his door, dies in his arms, and Wells takes over the case his friend was working on. On its face, it is not much: Duff had been trying to recover a kidnaped cat for Lily Tomlin, who plays one of those self-consciously dizzy L.A. types who are simultaneously into talent management, psychoanalysis...
