...kids they logged a lot of time in front of the tube watching the late show. Gable, not Dylan, became their hero; Carousel, not Hair, their fantasy musical. Grown up, their look is zoot-suit city: double-breasted and pin-stripe for the gents, shoulder pads and scarlet lipstick for the lady. The New York quintet call themselves Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, and their RCA debut LP is this season's breakaway disco act. The sound: musical gliss that ripples across five decades and combines Hollywood star dust and big-band elegance with Afro-Cuban cross...

Instead, for cheap thrills, Lipstick exploits the phenomenon it pretends to condemn, making rape into fatuous entertainment. We can't help wondering who is meant to be responsible for the crime. The anaesthetized Chris, who was only doing her job? Or Stuart, who was so inconsiderate as to act out a fantasy that all men who can see and read are encouraged to have? The cosmetics business which peddles the tools of seduction, the advertising industry which purveys the promise, or the women who demand the product? Where does...
