...previously unknown actress, Steenburgen accomplishes the impressive feat of holding her own with Nicholson: she tosses off cool sallies to counter his lunatic riffs. When they finally fall in love, the couple make a surprisingly tender pair.

In years ahead, it should ensure them of an abundant supply of insulin, which is needed by the body to metabolize sugar and other carbohydrates. It will also reduce their dependence on insulin extracted from cattle and swine, which causes allergic reactions in some 5% of the diabetics who need...
