...beach club. There he meets a car dealer (Richard Crenna), slightly shady and blatantly materialistic, who tries to tempt him away from the good values of his decent dad (Hector Elizondo), a plumber whose trade may be humble but whose spirit is not. There is originality and poignancy in Neal Marshall's story about competing father figures, and Garry Marshall's direction is unforced but never lackadaisical. The movie is rich in the eccentrically comic details of club life. It is good to see Dillon's quiet manner as a sign of intelligence, not sullenness, and Crenna...
Allred, 43, has not limited her "sexploitation" cases to women. When Actor LeVar Burton wanted custody of an illegitimate child that he admitted siring, Allred got him joint custody. She has also countersued the producers of the movie Hardrock for $1 million on behalf of another actor, Neal Sheldon, who walked off the film because he was asked to appear in the nude...
...difficult role of Corday's lover Duperet, Ben Evett is hilariously lewd, while Laurie Gallueto is equally effective in the role of Simonne Evrard, the head of Charenton, who tries to neal her patients through participation in art. At the same time, she is the censor of the play, who interrupts subversive talk and menacingly reminds the crazies that "everything is being done to alleviate sufferings." Pale and stone-faced, she makes the audience's blood run cold...
EXPECTING. Farrah Fawcett, 37, buoyant, blond-tressed actress who in recent years has essayed taxing TV roles (Murder in Texas, this week's The Burning Bed) to overcome the memory of her most famous part as one of the original Charlie's Angels; and Ryan O'Neal, 43, brawny, boisterous actor (Love Story, Paper Moon), her steady companion for the past four years; their first child; in February...
...Neal is, as ever, good at earnest befuddlement; Long is marvelously febrile in both misery and triumph. Screenwriters Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer (who here makes his directorial debut) appear to have been up and down and to have learned that both are bad news; they also display a familiarity with the life and films of Peter Bogdanovich. Only in their reach for a reconciling ending do they betray the cool ferocity of their approach. They may love old movies as much as their protagonist does, but they should know that, for good or ill, Frank Capra has retired...
