...this film--whether boredom with his mastery of the "Woody Allen" genre of films or simply a middle-aged change-of-life crisis--Allen is playing with no less than his career. So if the weight of the world hung over Allen when he wrote and directed Interiors, it shows in the film. Interiors is very, very sober: the story chronicles a family's trials and collapse, and the script is filled with heavy dialogue. The father, played by a stalwart but silent E.G. Marshall, severs ties with his compulsive interior decorator-wife (Geraldine Page), breaking up a family that...
...indifferent product line. To give Taylor a quality image and hype sales, Coke bought the respected Monterey Vineyards, south of San Francisco, to supply some of the grapes for the new Taylor California Cellars line. The bulk of the crushes for the California brand comes from the hot interior area, once known for producing low-grade grapes that were largely used in cheap jug wines. The company then prepared a $1.5 million ad campaign to introduce the California wines with a splash. The promotions show Taylor's rose, Rhine and burgundy being taste-tested and found superior to similar...
After four months of desultory debate, Congress last week failed to renew funding for the act, thus idling the 195 Interior Department bureaucrats and field agents who enforce it and leaving the snail darter, American bald eagle, grizzly bear and 700 other troubled creatures with near toothless federal protection.

...federal construction projects now on the drawing boards could be stymied under the law as it now stands. (Largest among that dangerous dozen is Maine's proposed $559 million Dickey Lincoln Dam, which environmentalists contend threatens the Furbish lousewort, a weed protected under the law.) In addition, the Interior Department may add 1,000 plants and 100 animals to its endangered species list, a move that could eventually hold up even more construction. Environmentally concerned legislators in the House last week were scrambling to gain support for a compromise funding bill already passed by the Senate. The measure would...
...viewer whose mind has begun to stray in this direction reflects that the English title, also, is a bit too mellifluous and easy and that the exquisite photography of interior scenes framed and lit like Vermeer's paintings shows little more than professionalism. The result, though the film is by no means unsuccessful as a whole, is that the actors tremble more than the audience. Passionate gloom haunted Bergman's earlier works, but professional gloom is what is visible in Autumn Sonata...
