...government?s tougher new stance is expected to emphasize Germany?s violation of Scientology members? religious freedom. This shift follows a public controversy touched off when Hollywood celebrities took up the cause of movie star Scientologists like Tom Cruise and John Travolota. In full-page newspaper ads last week, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Stone and a host of other entertainers angrily compared the discrimination against Scientologists to Germany?s anti-semitic persecutions in the 1930s, a comparison that itself drew outraged criticism from Americans who felt it trivialized the Holocaust.

...Dustin Hoffman isn't satisfied with Tootsie. The movie was fine, but his share of the profits was not--so he is suing Columbia Pictures for more than $1.5 million.

Shakes' job is to persuade their priestly mentor to supply an alibi for the murderers by lying on the witness stand. This offers amusingly gainful employment for Dustin Hoffman as a bumbling defense lawyer. It is all legally preposterous. But Levinson is a slick craftsman, his actors are insinuatingly real, and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus casts a disarmingly believable light on these proceedings. At some low, what's-next level, Sleepers works like, well, gangbusters...
