...zillionaire with a penchant for keeping women in overdecorated Manhattan pads. She is "Bones," a TV producer and longtime protégée who revolts against Max by making careerist demands and carrying on with an off-off-Broadway playwright (Peter Weller). King is too much of a pussycat to convey the hero's toughness, but he delivers Allen's best sallies with crackling speed ("I'll tell you who lives in New Jersey! Cousins live in New Jersey!").

Heathcliff was not meant to dally, however rudely, with Lon don ladies. Heathcliff also suggests that its hero is more pussycat than tiger. For all his violent talk ("I kicked him in the mouth, rattling his teeth nicely, like dice in a cup"), Heathcliff kills no one. His one violent act, cutting off the hand of an enemy who had tried to kill him, goads him into a shamefaced apology...
