...suffers from the somewhat shopworn metaphor that forms its core. Billy (David Bradley) is a melancholy loner whose older brother bullies him and whose mother plays aunt to a succession of one-night uncles. Wandering in the woodlands near his Yorkshire village one morning, he spots a kestrel's nest and becomes intrigued with the bird's grace, its power and freedom. He steals a book on falconry, steals one of the kestrel's offspring and proceeds, with quiet dedication, to train the bird, which he calls Kes. The obvious contrast between earthborn Billy and skyborne...
...Hollywood and devastate mankind. After Myron (Rex Reed) opens the proceedings by having himself castrated, Raquel Welch takes over as Myra. With Myron tagging along as her altered ego, she then lights out for Hollywood to claim half of an acting school owned by Myron's uncle, Buck Loner (John Huston).

There is crustaceous Veteran Director John Huston portraying Uncle Buck Loner, the sagebrush sybarite. Huston, an inveterate cigar smoker, has been unhappy with a no-smoking clause that Mae West had written into her contract. There is the epicene Rex Reed, who eats peaches, scribbles notes for his book (about the making of Myra, naturally) and regularly breaks up the crew...
Rachel grew up in the large family of a plumber who was too poor to send her to college. "I probably wouldn't know that a good relationship was possible if it wasn't for my mother and father. I was pretty much of a loner, and to this day I do horrible things like going to the movies alone. I never had a crush on a girl; I had an affair with a boy behind my parents' back when...
