...everything from class plays to graduations. But last week more than 500 parents were gathered there for a very grim purpose. School officials, acting on reports from parents alarmed by an apparently high incidence of cancers in the town, had compiled a list of eleven residents recently afflicted either with leukemia or Hodgkin's disease and asked state health authorities to investigate. Now the townspeople were assembled to hear the findings...

Furthermore, Dunlop, who has a nimble intelligence and no inconsiderable gifts in stagecraft, seems either to have missed or ignored the moral point of the play. Rome is at the flash point at which a republic blazes into tyranny.

...EITHER the plot or the acting provide the continuity that the cinematography lacks. The peek-a-boo piece in Playboy led us to believe that Violet's mother, Hattie (Susan Sarandon) would be a reluctant and ambitious hooker who dreamed of getting out. But Sarandon the ruthlessness to flesh out that theme. She simply ups and weds one of her johns in the middle of the movie--leaving Violet being and leaving us wondering why she did it, and where we missed something. Less self-explanatory still is David Carradine's portrayal of the photographer-suitor, Bellocq. When he first...
