"Blade," which had spent the previous two weeks at No. 1, slipped to second place with $10.4 million. "Saving Private Ryan" held steady in third with $8.6 million. "Ever After," starring Drew Barrymore...
...behind a tree, in a closet like a fretful nephew or an avid voyeur. It watches ordinary people (including some of the most beautiful actresses in Europe) tangling with moral demons, holding on to what they were taught to believe or--this being real life in Poland just after martial law--what they have learned to settle...
