...PLAY TRULY loses its '20s flavor and focus, however, when it comes time for Portia's suitors to compete for her hand in marriage: as the them song from. "The Dating Game" plays in the background, an emcee in a glittery silver suit and wide pink tie (David Angel) pulls a curtain to reveal three coffins, and welcomes a mob of cheering cast members to "Choose that Casket." Nerissa holds up an "Applause" sign. Here, the cast "deviates" from Shakespeare's script. After the emcee announces that the first contestant is the Prince of Morocco (Nestor Figueroa), he asks." Tell...
...different look these November days. The piled-up paint of 150 years has been scraped off the giant columns and intricate carvings of the North Portico. The Seneca sandstone is a light tan with brown striations. The naked surface gives the mansion more depth and a shadowy European flavor. Whoever comes back down Pennsylvania Avenue next January after taking the oath of office as President will be the first newly installed Chief Executive to see the pristine stone since Andrew Jackson's time.

By contrast, Scotty knows her most personal secrets, including her political affiliation and her favorite ice cream flavor. Thief of Hearts works best when Bauer and Williams are beginning their brief romance. There's a strong sense of tension and energy as Scotty begins to create her fantasies and Mickey begins to concede. The few fantasy sequences comprise the film's most imaginative and evocative momements. Mickey, who writes...
There are a couple of false notes. Though the setting is Michigan, the hick accents seem to have wandered up from somewhere near Little Rock. The early scenes of Francine and Mickey's courtship depend too predictably on '60s pop songs for period flavor. But most of the details ring true, from the woefully inadequate bromides offered by elders ("a woman's got to take the bitter with the sweet, you know") to the constant background din created by the children, to the way Mickey childishly brandishes his fists at his cowering wife, a neighborhood bully grown...
