...face, lower lip jutting forward in stoic determination, looks ready to apply for enshrinement on Mount Rushmore. He sheds little light on the motives behind Sakharov's late-blooming activism, though the fault may lie more in Rintels' overly reverent script than in Robards' characterization. Glenda Jackson, making a rare U.S. TV performance, brings a few moments of passion to her role as Yelena.

Glenda Jackson has specialized in self-absorbed eccentrics, but, as Stevie, she makes the familiar lilts and snappings sound new. Through the subtlest shadings of this fiercely independent soul, Jackson gradually recedes from the viewer's awareness, and the gentle Stevie takes over. The film's movement toward American release has been even more gradual; it was made in 1978. Now Stevie is here, not drowning but sailing with...
