...serious stuff, but not about food," Trillin says, smiling, while in Cambridge recently to publicize his sixth book. With mild eyes the color of swimming pools and a moderate waistline, in person he hardly seems the insatiate food ogre of his books. "I take on a persona as a glutton in my food books," he explains shyly...
Italian Actor Marcello Mastroianni happily gorged himself in La Grande Bouffe, Italian Director Marco Ferreri's savage comedy about four men who eat themselves to death. A glutton for punishment, Mastroianni has been lured back for another Ferreri satire. Called Bye Bye Monkey!, it is about an aging, asthmatic gardener who wanders down to a dump in a nameless large city and finds the remains of a movie monster named Macho Kong (no kin to King Kong).

Which is why--as we settled into a hedonistic slouch on Monday night to glutton ourselves with the faces of stars who were there, the cynical speculations about stars who weren't there, the silly name-pronouncing slip-ups, and the predictable choices--we couldn't quite figure out what was going on.

...Brad (Jon Cypher) tracks Betty to her motel room and concludes that she is either having an affair or a breakdown. Unequipped to deal with either possibility, he has one stopgap measure: he wants to join up with a clan of swingers and swappers. Betty, usually a glutton for punishment, draws the line. The last scene shows her taking one of the two family cars and heading for an uncertain dawn. That she picks the station wagon with the fake wood paneling on the side to drive off in does not bode well for the future...
