Richard Gere is the American gigolo, a gorgeous man whose labia-lipped half-smile can turn on a hydrant at 40 paces. A prostitute, a hairy, hunky whore, he slinks from bed to bed, selling orgasms by the bushel. Tanned like a sowhide wallet, he hides behind Annie Hall sunglasses and a wardrobe of pertly collared shirts, thin neckties and sharp jackets, always trim, cut, trained. He steps on the balls of his feet, his hips leading his chest, for single older women who want it. He has trained brains, he knows antiques, he has more than Looking Good...
...Larson, goes slightly bananas in the course of finishing a movie is a mere fever chart. The journey of another kind of odd couple dramatizes, poignantly and wittily, Elizabeth Hardwick's observation that performers tend to lead their lives "gregariously and without affections." There are lots of gorgeous scenes, including an incident of status panic in Schwab's drugstore with a lunchtime crowd of actors desperately vying with one another for the attention of a powerful producer, and a party where a White House staffer learns how power politics works when it leaves D.C. for L.A. Carpenter does...
...wish Simon hadn't worn his sould on his sleeve for all the world to see. Caan's portrayal of George, as well as Simon's impotent screenplay, causes our discontent.

He doesn't know how to ask his wife to get him a chili dog with that sparkle of intimacy...
...Many are gorgeous, and Moliére succeeds as spectacle if not as drama. There is a wonderful celebration in the royal gardens, with fireworks and dancing fountains. Throughout there is a keen sense of place, of dirt next to grandeur, the greasy, lice-infested hair underneath those magnificent 17th century wigs. But Mnouchkine the writer has failed Mnouchkine the director. Without the mind to engage it, the eye inevitably wanders. She has provided a rich and enticing dessert but neglected the main course...
...more than just another gorgeous face. The typical Hollywood starlet may think that August Strindberg is a hot new agent, but Streep played Miss Julie at Vassar. Beginning her professional stage career in New York only four years ago, she conquered prized roles in Shakespeare (Measure for Measure, Henry V, The Taming of the Shrew), Chekhov (The Cherry Orchard) and Brecht-Weill (Happy End), as well as in works by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. This repertory training came to Meryl because she was ready for it; her education went on in public, but critics and audiences did the learning...
