Most of the credit, though, belongs to the actors, who all overplay to the hilt. Adam Schwartz creates a perfectly blustery and "bully" Teddy Roosevelt--er, Teddy Brewster. Josh Frost is chilling as Jonathan, and thanks to Melanie Deas' make-up skills (I hope), he really does look like Boris Karloff. As the old aunts, Molly Bishop and Jennifer Donaldson find a surprisingly childish glee in their chemical activities...
...Kramer's The Normal Heart, Harvey Fierstein's Safe Sex, Robert Chesley's Jerker, or the Helping Hand, Alan Bowne's Beirut. The D.C. Cabaret Troupe is performing its new musical, A Dance Against Darkness: Living with AIDS, in Washington. NBC broadcast the first AIDS TV movie, An Early Frost, in 1985, and this week CBS airs An Enemy Among Us, in which a teenager gets AIDS from a transfusion...
...easy to work up a sweat inside the frost-coated chambers of the Norcal vegetable-freezing plant in Watsonville, Calif. Even so, the company's 700 employees are perspiring heavily these days. The workers have stepped up their productivity 10% over the level of two years ago without any major improvement in the food-processing equipment at their disposal. Yet for all their labors, the workers are not getting more pay but less. Last March they accepted wage cuts of 17%, from $7.06 an hour to $5.85 for most packers. They had little choice: the new arrangement saved their jobs...
...Mark Frost's script is abuzz with distractions, and John Schlesinger's direction is puttery and fussy. That boldness of style and pace that can distract the audience from the improbabilities always inherent in this genre is quite beyond him. It is rather late in the picture before the filmmakers briefly get their act together. For no very good reason, the meanies decide to visit upon the heroine, Helen Shaver, a humongous zit. Far beyond the curative powers of even the large-economy-size Clearasil, this ever growing pimple symbolizes the worst social nightmares of the adolescents...
Nice looking fellow. Even features, crinkly eyes, a ready smile, muscles taut from gym work, autumnal hair with a fine early frost. He could be a cousin of his fellow Rocky Mountain resident Robert Redford. Then look closer and find a superhero's face as it might have been drawn by Wallace Wood for a Mad comic- book parody. The jawline, a shade too prominent, entertains the rumor of buffoonery. The smile is one of unwarranted self-assurance. His eye squint seems not to have registered that the world sees him differently: as a preening oaf. With every gesture...
