...acting appears genuinely untouched by directorial hands. Certainly Cooper must never have heard of "pace," as it is indiscriminate throughout, with most scenes (such as "The Sneeze") unbearably slow and mis-timed. When a scene crackles and takes off, it is usually the result of a good performance; Jeff Harper, for example, who performs three startingly different roles with dash, bravura, and intelligence, is largely responsible for bringing off "The Drowned Man," an amusing episode about a sailor who'll drown himself for 60 kopecks. Jacques Semmelman plays a decent, if uninspired, Chekhov (the narrator), but in this contest...

Just as I was at the very steps of the escalator to the upper bus level, I hear "Excuse me, my name is Jim. Have you heard about God?" (God? God who? Sorry, can't place the name.)
