...Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Four Dogs and a Bone), is, unfortunately, a model of what playwrights should avoid. It's a slim but labored farce about a young man (Andrew McCarthy) who can't make love without having his father's socks around and the psychiatrist (Edward Herrmann) who has taken them away. The stale shrink jokes wouldn't pass muster on an average episode of Seinfeld, not to mention Shanley's own better work, like his flavorful screenplay for Moonstruck. What Hollywood gave Shanley was discipline--and Cher...
...Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Bernard Herrmann: the Film Scores (Sony Classical). Remember the shower in Psycho? Hitchcock may have been the director, but it was the gruff, bluff composer Herrmann who brought the scene to vivid, shrieking life.

What is left out, however, is a good deal of the historical atmosphere, as well as many details of the laborious murder investigation. As a result, catching this serial killer seems as easy as a jog around Central Park...
