...work of women artists did not have a history. For several hundred years, women who painted (or, more rarely still, sculpted) were apt to be seen as inconsequential strays, more or less talented, in a man's profession. Men did not make the Bayeux tapestry, or embroider the gold-worked opus Anglicanum chasubles that were among the supreme glories of medieval art. By the late 15th century one artist in every four on the rolls of the painters' guild of Bruges was a woman. But names, patchy attributions and lost works do not make up a history. That...
...that has been fumigated, and dares observe that Korea's own documentation and cultural emphasis lay precisely in the omitted areas, the annoyed retort lays chief store on the importance of ready cash. Harvard's stern and parsimonious forebears must somehow find sleep through the plashing of somewhat tainted gold. Seoul's terms are 'strings' indeed...
...Caligula, Peter O'Toole for the diseased Emperor Tiberius and John Gielgud for the aristocratic Nerva. He then set about constructing half of ancient Rome: a mile-long facsimile of a 1st century street, a 100-yd.-long stadium, and a 175-ft.-long floating bordello, encrusted with gold leaf, where the wives of Roman Senators were forced into prostitution to fill Caligula's treasury. "We've got to find a museum for the boat!" Guccione exclaims. "It's so beautiful!" As for Vidal's criticisms . . . well, he must be talking about somebody else...
...surprisingly, Hawk flew to a G rating, which is just what Dayton had intended. To him, the G does not stand for general audiences (as the Motion Picture Association of America says it does in its rating system), it stands for gold. Dayton, who also broke in as a director on the movie, expects to gross $20 million from Hawk and recover its $1.2 million production cost in about a month...
...sides, but it is a jolly enough enterprise, bumptiously entertaining in its own feckless way. Marvin overacts outrageously, sometimes lapsing into a full-fledged imitation of W.C. Fields gone native. Parkins is pretty, and Moore deft and quite amusing as a sort of good-hearted dolt. Director Peter Hunt (Gold) got his start as film editor on the early James Bond adventures and knows how to work on the funny bone even as he stages a punchy scene. The movie hardly wants for plot or action, but could have done with a little more sense. This, however, might have slowed...
