...young Elvis "a terrific crooner who was closer, in intonation, vocal virtuosity and care for a song?s mood, to Bing Crosby than to any singer of the past 30 years. In that trap, as this set proves, he found triumph." CINEMA: "After 40 years," writes Corliss, "Jean-Luc Godard can still astonish and amuse in the cinematic shorthand he virtually created. Now two of his films, both about moviemaking, are on view: the 1995 'For Ever Mozart' and 'Contempt,' his 1963 meditation on sex, lies and celluloid." Both newly restored after long being out of theatrical circulation, ' the releases...
...officials are furious with Canadian Prime Minister JEAN CHRETIEN after an open mike at the NATO summit caught him scorning CLINTON's two-year campaign to enlarge the group as "done for short-term political reasons, to win elections." Clinton aides consider the digs meanspirited, but their boss has a different take. According to a senior official, the President laughed at the comments, chalking them up to the intricacies of Canadian-Belgian relations. Seems that Chretien was speaking to Belgian Prime Minister JEAN-LUC DEHAENE. Belgians disdain French Canadians as bumpkins, Clinton explained, so Chretien was just trying to impress...
...neurotic as the Stewart character could be, it was for the most part anti-erotic. Smart city gals (Hepburn, Sullavan, Jean Arthur, Rosalind Russell, Dietrich, Ginger Rogers, nearly the whole fabulous constellation of '30s star actresses) would toy with this bumpkin, only to find he had magically restored their emotional virginity. In his private life--which he kept private--Stewart was a responsible grownup, a bachelor until 1949, when he married Gloria McLean. She had two sons from a previous marriage; they had twin daughters...
...tenderness, there was a hint of the violent in Stewart's innocence. His first reaction to ridicule as Mr. Smith is to hunt reporters down and punch them out--until Jean Arthur's hardbought worldly wisdom is put at his service. The innocent is not good with words, so fists must serve--as Stewart shows when he tries to taunt the glib C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) into fighting him in The Philadelphia Story. Even saintly George Bailey terrorizes his own children before rushing out to do violence to himself...
...other night, a New York resident named Jean Vallely, who had just returned from California, told me that her windshield had been streaked up by a squeegee guy on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, Calif.--the first confirmed squeegee-guy sighting I've heard of since this whole thing started. It raises the possibility that the squeegee guys, having heard of the O.J. case, are moving out to Brentwood on the theory that a jurisdiction that lets someone get away with murder couldn't be hard on people who wash windshields with filthy rags...
