...least Rocky had some genuinely moving scenes. Stallone gave a sensitive performance and audiences responded to his character's innocence and insecurity. The whole movie seemed so full of good nature, of child-like enthusiasm, that its many weaknesses could be forgiven...
...lives in an ocean-front home in Dar es Salaam. Obote was soon joined by 20,000 refugees who had fled the Ugandan tyrant's bloodthirsty attempts to wipe out all opposition.

Crispin, 57, may be forgiven for his long vacation from mayhem. In the real world, he maintains an identity as Composer R. Bruce Montgomery, the man who has settled the scores for dozens of British movies. As Crispin, he spikes the suspense with some hilarious rustic intermezzos worthy of Wodehouse. Glimpses should win the protean author...
