...announced as a "post-punk" tale, with stereo Dolby treatment, and followed by a blow-out reception, dubbed "event of the year" by some hyperbolic press bulletins. The film details the rise and fall of a London band (bearing many resemblances to X-Ray Spex), with street-found star Hazel O'Connor as leader of the idealistic group. She self-promotes on subways, takes on gigs at skinhead pubs and political rallies, and ends up with record contract and sold-out laser light shows. Phil Daniels, star of last year's Quad-rophenia, plays the little manager who gets squeezed...

...delegates. Last week's group of 400 encouraged him more than he did them. "We want Jimmy! We want Jimmy!" they shouted as Carter and Rosalynn, smiling broadly, entered the East Room. "You've got me!" answered Carter, whereupon New York's Hazel Dukes shouted: "And we're going to keep you for four more years!" Chanted the audience: "Four more years, four more years!" Referring to the rules fight, Carter derided attempts to change delegates' commitment as "a travesty" and drew applause by declaring: "Let's not let the political bosses control...

That bird of rare plumage, the American male, is strutting and primping. In the morning, after shaving, more and more men are reaching for a $20 tube of RNA Bio-Complex Moisture Cream instead of the Old Spice or witch hazel. Some pinstripe business executives are now canceling their three-martini lunches and scurrying across town to meet their wives at the skin-care salon for his-and-her noontime facials. For macho males, from Wall Street bankers to Los Angeles construction workers, a smooth, clear complexion has become as prized and pursued as a 32-inch waist...

...Connor's comi-tragic novella concerns one Hazel Motes, the son of a preacher, a young, little-educated Southerner confused about religion. Haze is a preacher, too, but not of any church of Christ. In a South obsessed with Jesus--JESUS SAVES smothers him in neon and print--he tries to rebel by founding his own Church Without Christ and immersing himself in sin. His is a church where "the blind don't see and the lame don't walk and what's dead stays that way." He is humorless in a crazy world, aiming with violent integrity to keep...

...Ratso Rizzo for Ted Kramer. Even in "B" films like American Gigolo, the misfit hero is not glorified for his sins at the finale but redeemed, primped for "normal" society. But Wise Blood is not a Hollywood film, nor is it about normal society. In Huston's hands, Hazel Motes becomes not a hero or an anti-hero but a non-hero, one of us living out the internal battle between Jesus and Satan...
