...moves from east to west. New York comics hit the big time and move west to Hollywood, British humor sweeps westward across the Atlantic to the East Coast.

Kurosawa. The festival of great Japanese films continues at the Park Square, the Kenmore remaining immobilised by an interminable run of the Monty Python film.
