...volatile Democratic contest, in particular, is straight out of an antacid commercial. No candidate has much margin for error: one gaffe, one stumble, one strategic miscue could spell the difference between heartburn and heartthrob. With a tightly bunched field and estimates of turnout as low as 90,000 Democrats, the support of a few thousand caucus attendees may be all that separates the victor from also-ran status. The latest political tout sheets label Richard Gephardt as the freckle-faced favorite; he put on last week's most elaborately choreographed media event, importing 42 House colleagues to stand with...
...that there has been only one Marcello to play. In his first eminence, as the cynical journalist in Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita and the indecisive director in Fellini's 8 1/2, Mastroianni might have been typed as an existentialist heartthrob, a Valentino for the atomic age. But by the early '60s he was also playing a comic-pathetic roue in Divorce, Italian Style; a quiet-spoken syndicalist in The Organizer; a trio of Italian males in Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. From these disparate parts emerged the full image of Mastroianni: a sensual, reasonable man, agreeably passive, remarkably resilient...
...Linson's avid support, De Palma selected Costner. Says De Palma: "Like Connery, he's very straightforward. He gives you everything he's got, but he wants you to play by the rules." It worked out fine; in a week the actor has gone from Who's he? to heartthrob. That is a status Connery has easily worn for a quarter-century, and he was happy to fall into Malone's sack-of-potatoes haberdashery and the film's complex ethnic weave. "There's the Mediterranean style of Capone," Connery notes, "very much in favor of the pleasures of life...
...Mario Puzo's best-selling novel. Now being filmed in Italy, the movie centers on the short, bloody career of Italian Gangster Salvatore Giuliano, a real-life Robin Hood of the late '40s who dreamed of turning Sicily into a U.S. state. He is played by the French heartthrob (and most recent Tarzan) Christopher Lambert, 29, who unhesitatingly grabbed the chance to work with Cimino. "He is a very passionate man, a strong person. He gives a lot to his actors," explained Lambert. "I would rather work with someone who has talent than someone who has made...
...gain market share, the Arrow clothing company is resurrecting a venerable dandy: the Arrow Collar Man, advertising heartthrob of the flapper era. The image of an elegant Manhattan clubman was created in 1905, when the company had its headquarters in Troy, N.Y., by Illustrator J.C. Leyendecker. The Arrow man was a cult icon in the 1920s and was featured in a 1923 Broadway musical, Helen of Troy, New York. Arrow retired the figure in 1931. Now, an '80s version of the man-about-town, painted by Leroy Neiman, is the star in the latest Arrow ad campaign. Says Vice President...
