...Kiss and Tell Writer: Whether Bok knows it or not, he is sitting on a goldmine. By exposing all the intrigue, duplicity and sex of running Harvard University, Bok could guarantee himself a place on the bestsellers' list--and the lecture tour--for years to come. Acting Dean of the Faculty Henry Rosovsky's The University: An Owner's Manual would pale in comparison to Bok's The University: Tower of Lust. Odds...
...splendidly bitchy comedy, The Women crossed with The Big Chill. Also a soap opera, a horror movie and a how-to manual on coping with catastrophe. On a small budget, writer Craig Lucas and director Norman Rene (who teamed just as productively on the Broadway comedy Prelude to a Kiss) have created a beguiling panorama.

But what really killed 3-D in the '50s -- and in subsequent revivals in the '60s, '70s and '80s -- was not so much bad movies as bad 3-D. Even classics like Kiss Me Kate and Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder have effects that when seen in 3-D, tend to pull the eyeballs in directions that nature never intended. Successful 3-D movies require that two stereoscopic images be kept scrupulously aligned and in focus, and this technological challenge has virtually...
