...what he's gonna do." At one point on this night, they stop a young black about to go into a bar in a known narcotics area. They search him for drugs. "This just ain't right," he complains over and over. His protests get louder, so Boston warns him: "Don't you grandstand on me." The youth is clean; they release him and he disappears, muttering.

It is in the nature of movies that actions speak louder than words-particularly when the words are as diffuse as those found in Women in Love.
