...close-ups of Lynch on the sidelines, helmet off, smiling at the camera. No shots of him giving the V sign after still another long gain. There would be just a quick pan to the number on his back as he lumbered off the field in that tender-kneed way of his, a big, good-looking man, who was virtually undistinguishable under his helmet and football gear. At first, the bar's patrons would cheer just the brief mention of Lynch's name on national TV, but after a few years of such random mentioning by Summerall and Frank Gifford...
...from their past, a dim, half-remembered moment from their athletic youth. They call that moment into focus at the bar, embellishing it. An argument ensues. "In your dreams," someone says. They laugh. The bar door opens. A big, shambling man with a droopy mustache enters with the tender-kneed, left-right stride of a man who's fallen off too many broncos. He is wearing a goose-down vest, a snap-button shirt, jeans and pointy-toed cowboy boots, all of which look out of place in this working man's, New England...
...this boon possible? Thanks to a week-kneed House of Representatives, American taxpayer money will start pouring into this small nation in order to fund a war between the Nicaraguan government and a group of rebels known as the Contras.

But Dern plays Connie as a girl who has not yet come into her own. She's tall and thin and leggy, but she walks with a knock-kneed self-conscious slouch. When she tries to be sexy, the worst of Valley Girl fashion comes out of the closet. Too much hairspray, too many jiggly bangles, plastic colorful earrings, a flairy mini-skirt and a push-up satin halter are the usual attire. All the sleazy guys at Frank...
...virtuoso acting comes from John Bottoms as the tragic villain De Flores. As an impoverished nobleman in the Vermandero household, De Flores is the instrument of Beatrice-Joanna's downfall, and he oozes evil. Fine-tuned to gruesome perfection by Bottoms (here of the shiny bald pate and knock-kneed posture), De Flores is a cross between Igor and Iago, first fawning on Beatrice-Joanna, then exacting fealty--and a whole lot more--for being...
