...most basic sounds and gestures to get around the city. Curious pidgin words, rather the way the Sioux talk in old western films, are produced-to no effect whatsoever. My first attempt at a conversation in Russian -just to say that I had tried-was with an elderly fisherman staring morosely at the tiny float of his line in the murk of the Moscow River. I rehearsed behind him, peering into my pocket dictionary, and when I thought I had the word right, I put on a bright smile and, leaning against the stone balustrade, I asked in an offhand...
Hard by the harbor's edge in the venerable Massachusetts fishing port of Gloucester stands the bronze statue of a fisherman, dressed in slicker and sou'wester hat and clutching a schooner's wheel. He is gazing resolutely seaward, as if on the lookout for one of the gales that have claimed thousands of local sailors since the town was settled in 1623. But today a storm of quite a different kind is swirling through Gloucester. This one pits the townspeople against the Moonies, the disciples of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, whose Unification Church has been...
However, Schlondorff fails to give a similar sense of irony to a Beckettian sequence with an eel fisherman on a stark beach. While Oskar keeps a cold, dark view on life, the film changes tone: now it is bleak and blue, now it is warm and red. Does Schlondorff misunderstand his little hero or has he simply made only token efforts at linking each sequence to the whole?

...knew how to savor the good life, and had the money to do it. He was the author of the bestselling The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and a connoisseur of good food, fine wine and thoroughbred women. One evening last week Dr. Herman Tarnower, 69, dined with a few intimates at his secluded, $500,000 estate in exclusive Purchase in Westchester County, 29 miles north of New York City. His guests included Lynne Tryforos, about 40, an attractive blond divorcee who had been his medical assistant for 19 years and, more recently...
...Vance and Ralph J. Zito manage most of the evening's best moments, switching roles adeptly and keeping their characters under control. Vance plays animals effectively: as the ass in "The Bremen Town Musicians," he carries you down the road with him and as the flounder in "The Fisherman and His Wife" he slithers wonderfully, bellowing his anger. If Vance's performance is strained in both "Henny Penny" and "The Master Thief," his miming is marvelous and his body movements lithe. Samuels and Zito bring delightful innocence to roles that demand naivete. Samuels performs best in the show's opening...
