...location in Dealey Plaza, actors and crew filmed the motorcade re- enactment with super-8 movie cameras. "The idea," says co-film editor Pietro Scalia, "was to create a point of view so that this section has an amateurish look." After much wrangling, the JFK company secured use of the Texas School Book Depository, from which shots were fired on Nov. 22. The sixth floor had become a museum, so the moviemakers used the seventh floor there and, for appropriate perspective of the motorcade, the sixth floor of an adjacent building.

True love at last? Not that he'll let on. "I always feel a little better about a room when she's come into it" is hardly an expression of passion.

This sort of homicidal fable demands the stiletto of satire -- the very weapon flourished by Italian director Pietro Germi in his brilliant '60s comedies Divorce Italian Style and Seduced and Abandoned. But what played in Sicily for Germi doesn't work in Tacoma, Wash., for Lawrence Kasdan. This crime does not spring from the polluted mores of a medieval society; it is the private whim of an exasperated woman...
