...superstar receives equal billing with his siblings, and his picture smiles out among shots of Ellen, now 37, who is acting in pilots for both NBC and CBS; Margaret, 32, who does TV and voice-overs in Chicago; Anne, 29, just married and acting in New York City; Joey, 27, who was once a teacher and has now taken off for Los Angeles with a gift of $5,000 from his kid brother and the promise of a screen test; and Sam, 34, who has worked for years as a shipping clerk at Faberge but, hooked on show biz ("While...

The combination, he believes, should keep him at the top for another decade. To the dismay of opponents...

Maxwell has not stinted on important details: he shot the war scenes on location in Europe and enlisted Broadway Choreographer Donald Saddler and Burlesque Comic Joey Faye to help create the vaudeville numbers. Maxwell's casting is precise. Spacek, playing a spiritual sister of the lost souls she acted in Badlands and 3 Women, is diaphanously vulnerable, but also makes a fine clown in her off-pitch songs. William Hurt, her awkward military suitor, is sensitive and attractive...
