...crack-house mugger in this humdinger about a sleazy attorney who bends the system to wreak justice. But the real drama is in the demonic intensity and haunted eyes of James Woods, a criminally gifted actor who may be too edgy to become a Hollywood star in this era of the Really Cute...
...economic bane of the 1970s returned to haunt the late 1980s? For several years, inflation has seemed like a vanquished problem of another era.

"We are in an era of high school production numbers and arias set to a backbeat," says Jule Styne, who wrote songs for five Robbins musicals.
