...what of the players? Can't have a ballgame without players, and there are many who rode into the winner's circle. Murphy comes through as O'Genick, but better direction would have tightened his wavering Steve Martin-Goes-to-Southie character. Fitch's job on Ella Mental, the nonagenarian nympho, is outstanding. Jim O'Brien, who plays the second female lead as Melissa Forethought, a whorish double agent who gets it from both sides, turns in an admirable performance, especially on the raunchy number, "Coo and Bill Me Later."

It seems that Sally is returning to her old beat, the Post's style section, after all. "One day," she said dramatically, "you'll know why I made the decision not to join the Times and why I couldn't tell you." Veteran reporters thought they already knew.
