...first viewing, Landis films like Animal House and Trading Places--shaggy, canny, missing broad targets and then dancing on pinheads--seem not nearly as good as they should be. Second time around, they look better than they have any right to. No master of mise-en-scene, no Mr. Meticulous, Landis propels his pictures on attitude. If you buy the mood, you buy the movie. Into the Night is irresistible because Landis' have-fun-with-it mood allows for crazy- acute characterizations that spin the spectator off balance and give him a giggle in the process. The whole oddball cast...

Heymann, 38, a former university lecturer and book reviewer, is unrepentant. Says he: "I think I did a credible job. I wanted to give a 'mise en scène,' and it catches the flavor of her whole life."

Critic Hugh Kenner, however, found a remarkably similar one in an obscure Italian journal printed years before. Scholars have charged that Heymann's 1980 volume...
...looking movie with only three main characters-a chamber piece played in a Crystal Palace that shivers in the soft focus of sexual ambiguity. As director, Streisand has seen to it that Yentl and Avigdor and Hadass don't get lost in the sumptuous locations and somber, classical mise en scene. Patinkin has harnessed his talent and energy; he can bounce off a bookcase in the thrall of scholarship, or sit tense and still as Avigdor tries to figure out the riddle of Anshel's identity. Amy Irving, of the honeyed voice and witchcrafty allure, makes the role...
There were reports of a neat compro mise: Volcker would be reappointed to a four-year term with the understanding that he would step down in January 1985. That would allow whoever is President to name his own man to the Federal Reserve at the beginning of his term. In the past, Volcker himself has said that he believes the two most important jobs in Washington should have concurrent terms...
