Designer Cardin at 56 has attached his name to practical fantasies that can be worn, walked on, slept in, sat upon, munched, drunk, flown, pedaled or driven in 69 countries. His latest coup is an agreement to serve as exclusive consultant to China's embryonic fashion industry. The Parisian may have his haute couture models reproduced in China, where the workmanship is exquisite and cheap, creating a new export trade for the Middle Kingdom. If the contract works out, 10% of Cardin-Cathay will be reserved for sale inside China, which is probably wise, considering the fact that...

During the movie we see Dave grow up. He hates his father (Judd Hirsch), who is a good-for-nothing drunk, while his mother (Susan Sarandon) keeps the family going with her stealing and her fortune- telling--which amounts to the same thing. His sister (Brooke Shields) is a beauty, with a mind of her own that you never see but which Dave assures us it there. She is destined to be sold into marriage at age 12 to an obese little boy. Her betrothal exemplifies gypsy life for Dave--his mother was stolen as a child; now his sister...
