DEALING IS BRANDED by a certain genial decadence; it gives you the feeling that the people who put it together had a rather passive contempt for the project, holding it at a redeeming arm's length while they went through the necessary gestures. Originally a straight-out attempt at pure exploitation, Dealing's script was concocted by Michael Crichton '64 (a Med School graduate who has recently taken up practice in Hollywood) in consultation with his brother Douglas. Even before filming began, the script was turned into a book (a la Love Story and Summer of '42) which was issued...

It is not simply that both are black, although that is significant enough. It is that Geraldine is pure ghetto caricature. Half the fun of her characterization comes from the clichés of the black experience that she embodies, the other half from put-ons of conventional white attitudes toward that experience. Five years ago, any network executive worth his Valium would have sworn that these were not the ingredients...
