Colbert loves acting, though it was never an obsession for her, as it was for some of her contemporaries, like Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. "I never thought of my career as the primary thing in my life," she says. "I looked upon acting as a job, and now, frankly, I regret it. I think of all the things I could have done. I just let parts come to me. I never went after them." Still, that seems to be about all she regrets, and if Colbert, radiant and ageless, is not happy, who is? "She's been drinking...

...Nevertheless, he is successful at times, and provides the film's few entertaining moments. It is hard to say if Tarzan would have been a good movie even with a better actress playing Jane, somebody with style and grace. Julie Christie for instance, or (a few years ago) Katherine Hepburn. That it would be a better film is certain. The role of stoic-woman-against-all-odds-in-the-wilderness requuces more than a pretty face, more than Bo Derek...

Steve Martin filters laugh-a-minute zaniness through Redford good looks: goy meets Berle. Mull intones mantras of malevolent banality. Tomlin incarnates sorority queens and shopping-bag ladies with the intensity of Piaf and the emotional range of either Hepburn. Brooks works the baroque side of the street. Kaufman's characters populate a doll's house of the bizarre. They are as different from one another as bright young people can be. But they share a basic belief-that the business of America is show business -and a fascination with the detritus of the entertainment industry. Steve Allen...

Finally, after years of dropping, after checking the phonebook for first names, after making nicknames out of nicknames, the name-dropper touches bottom--the tragic fifth and last stage. For at the fifth stage (I remember when this happened to Kate Hepburn), the name-dropper slips into near-unconsciousness and drops names instinctively without realizing it. (Ringo keeps telling me he's trying to stop but I just don't believe him) Nor do the references make any sense whatsoever: they become for the dropper as (God, I hope things work out for Theda) vital an element of speech...
