He impresses Dorothy with his tacky style; he gives her a real two-carat topaz; he escorts her to her senior prom in a ruffled sky-blue tuxedo. Eric Roberts is a brilliantly spoiled and clutching Snider--he has as many wants as a child on Santa's knee. He is overjoyed when Dorothy's talents land them in the Los Angeles fast lane, yet he wants more, and throws petulant tantrums...
