...Pope will come to Colombia. Of course we will show him the best of this city, but we should take him to the horrid places where people try to survive, like animals, in an incredible misery, full of sickness, without any education and without any hope for a better tomorrow.

Sandy Dennis, with her wiggly mouth and widdershins acting style, might as well have a curl in the middle of her forehead. Because when she is bad, she is horrid. In one of her two most recent roles, she is excellent, though the movie goes sour anyway. In the other, it is hard to tell which is more ludicrous-Sandy or the film...
