...rather nerdy husband, Chume, to distraction and even manages to ruffle the seemingly unflappable Jero. Adams plays it just right: the piercing shrill of her voice could cause inner-ear disturbance and she cuts a very intimidating figure without descending to the level of parody. Even better is Marlon Riggs as Chume, who rants and raves hysterically with near-perfect comic timing...
...When Marlon Brando starred in On the Waterfront (1954), the morning shape-ups of New York dock workers were pretty much as the movie portrayed them-noisy, brawling scenes of men fighting for the jobs available. No longer. Now longshoremen "badge in" at 7:30 a.m. at local hiring halls by inserting a plastic card into an IBM computer and lounge around for a while. By 9 a.m. the unlucky ones have gone to work; the others can go home to watch TV or moonlight on a second job-and still collect full base pay ($64 per day). That undemanding...
Guess Who? First there was a secretary to answer the phone. Then there were telephone-answering machines for office and home.

The gloom of Kennedy's assassination breaks the mood, but not for long, as Ed Sullivan can be seen in 1964 announcing, with a wave of the arm: "Ladies and gentlemen...
...twelve days' work as the father who sends Superbaby to Earth from the doomed planet Krypton, Marlon Brando has received $2¼ million. A similar sum is going to Gene Hackman, who plays Lothar, the archvillain, for three months' work. To make sure that Superman will stay around for sequels, Reeve, who was plucked from the obscurity of a TV soap opera for the role, is getting $250,000. But then, of course, there is more of Reeve than there was when he was signed. In London, where the interiors are being shot, he trained on weights with...
