...guzzling, bearish Patiomkin duly succeeds. Schwartz is most endearing as the sotted-out relation to the Great Catherine. Everyone is "a darkbg" in Patiomkn's eyes, and Shwartz plays the part to the hilt, lavishing his fellow character with Leo Buscaglian hugs and kisses. When the English Captain Edstaston (Orion Ross) arrives on the scene to arrange an audience with the Great Catherine, Patiomkin dutifully obliges, throwing the Englishman on his back and literally dropping him off at the Empress's private suite...

His rig can deliver a bone-jarring 144 decibels of sound. "I just got carried away," he admits...
...fiancee. Plus a couple of doped-up cops and a Jehovah's Witness concierge. The film is devious enough to have speared every foreign-language prize from U.S. critics and obvious enough that Hollywood is genuflecting at Almodovar's door. "Pedro is going to become a major director," says Orion Pictures' Mike Medavoy, "either in Hollywood or wherever he decides to work...
