...that the Ayatullah had misread U.S. restraint as an indication that the nation was afraid to take any action. They agreed that he must be disabused of that notion. The President, who was spending Thanksgiving week at Camp David, returned immediately to the White House by helicopter for a late-afternoon meeting with the Special Coordination Committee, which has been meeting twice a day to plan strategy...
Truffaut was the director whom Producer Stanley Jaffe first hired for Kramer. When scheduling conflicts developed, Jaffe turned to Benton. Though he has directed only two previous movies, Bad Company (an antic western with Jeff Bridges) and The Late Show (an eccentric detective story with Art Carney and Lily Tomlin), Benton's career stretches back over a decade.

...carnivorous that Rose's on-stage death seems sacrificial. Everything looks drugged out and messy. Not only messy in a physical sense, with all of Rose's glimmering, filthy rags and feathers, but also in a spiritual sense. The crowd scenes capture the alienated, frenetic mood of the late '60s. The Rose portrays the jarring disillusionment caused by the American Dream going bust...
