...buried his identity along with his ethnicity. The world now regards him as an all- American maker of movies and starlets. But in the world of the best seller, when a protagonist rises too high, a pair of lustrous eyes are just around the corner. These belong to Luba, a sensuous young actress with her own hidden background of European tragedy. She triggers memories of his murdered family.

Forsythe lacks the emotional range that the role of Luba calls for; she is also ill-equipped to handle the artificial monologues. She should be given credit, however, for keeping her energy up throughout the entire marathon...
