This week, Lee reviews Jesus Rediscovered, by Britain's Malcolm Muggeridge, whom he finds weak on God and grace, but "brilliantly funny on their adversaries the world, the flesh and the devil.

Candy recently read the adventures of Christopher Robin and the Autobiography of Malcolm X without the aid of Braille. Similarly, she can read typed letters from friends and current novels or textbooks not yet transcribed into Braille, as well as newspapers and magazines - all previously inaccessible to the blind.

Rettig beds the aunt, then commits suicide during a particularly difficult stunt. As a memorial to Rettig, Malcolm attempts the same reckless leap. What he discovers about courage and his own manhood should have been the core of the story; unhappily, the film is too oblique for its own good...
