...TONY ENCLAVE OF MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., reality is a $700,000 house perched on acres of shady lawn, and crime is a plot device in a P.D. James novel. Recently, though, the disappearance of one of Morris Township's most respected citizens has brought in a gust of the world outside. Sidney Reso, the 57-year-old president of Exxon International, vanished, his car left idling at the end of his driveway, as he headed for work on the morning of April 29, and no one has seen him since...
...construction worker who moonlights as -- no kidding -- a shoe salesman. The woman (Brigitte Bako), torn between the hunk she's secretly sleeping with and the hunk she's engaged to, has just committed suicide, and her fiance reads the journal after her funeral. That pretty much wraps up the plot of this Showtime movie, directed by soft-core wizard Zalman King (9 1/2 Weeks, Wild Orchid).

Ms. S. had the opportunity to read the play and comment on how Gammons successfully or unsatisfactorally handled the demands of the script Artaud called "unstageable." Then maybe she could think...
Theo Huxtable graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in psychology. The large and loving family gathered: the plot's only crisis had something to do with whether Theo could find enough tickets to the ceremony for all the friends and neighbors and family who had assembled to hug one another and make fond jokes. Dr. Huxtable (Bill Cosby) was goofy with pride. He had a flashback to the time some years before when Theo announced he wanted to forget about school and get a job: Dr. Huxtable, stern and loving, laid down the law. And then...
