...Winston's mama, Jennie Jerome, she was that peculiarly erotic species, an American. Brooklyn-born Jennie had already caught the Prince of Wales' cruising eye. As Randolph reached for political power, the Prince-and other men-reached for Jennie. Yet when it became apparent that Randolph had contracted syphilis, the prodigious Jen nie abandoned her great love (an Austrian diplomat) to take her mad hus band round the world. She outlived him by 26 love-filled years and married not one but two men as young as her son Winston. When she was dying in great pain...
...interesting idea that doesn't work very well. A typical day at a rural residence frames a report by a neighbor that "the vice-president's gone mad." Vice president of what we never find out, which is the point. No one shows real interest in the news. Mama sighs "I guess there's nothing we can do about it," and resumes doing her laundry. The song ends nicely with the narrator saying, "and I shut all the doors" but it goes on too long and becomes boring instead of conveying the boredom of rural life...
...more than 100 character portraits in TV shows and some 30 mostly mediocre movies from the mundane to the fascinating. Whether Dern played a mad doctor in Two-Headed Transplant, a hillbilly husband in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, a bi-sexual boy friend in Bloody Mama, he projected an anomie that was almost aggressive.

This story about how a nice girl becomes a nice girl who is also a hooker is not one-sidedly sexist. it casually shortchanges both sexes. The only men in the film are Xavier's one-time fiance, an incurable mama's boy who cured her of marriage forever, and her clients, who ask to be whipped, stroked, licked, played with, or just listened to. However normal they may be at work and at home, they bring their neuroses and loneliness to Xaviera. She and her girls minister to their needs while passing knowing smiles to each other behind...
...wooden affair with a long, running mirror behind the bar, a couple of pool tables, and two poker tables in the rear. The dance hall is locked. Only a dozen people are in the joint. All are kids: a blurry-faced, rumpled Italian from Boston; a buck shouldered mama in a Porsche tee-shirt giving a two-handed thigh clasp to slit-eyed tough with TKO'ed reflexes; a plump little blonde in a too-tight girdle and high, cut jeans who's loosing her battle for the shag-cut brown-haired, fishy-moustached, brown-oiled, flat-faced stud...
