But people are avoiding Brooks' Life Stinks, a kind of Homeless Alone about a billionaire on the bum, as if it were trying to wipe a rag across their windshield. Brooks' old colleague Gene Wilder has fared no better with Another You, in which he plays a compulsive liar coupled in a complex scam with con man Richard Pryor.

In a region where a night of R. and R. means downing a couple of cans of nonalcoholic beer and practicing the steps to a new Marine-invented dance, the "Gas Mask Rag," the outside diversion is welcomed. "It is very important to keep up morale in the midst of such a lonely and isolating experience as a war in a desert," says Army Lieut. Colonel Robert Dawson, deputy director of the military broadcasting center in Los Angeles, which gathers the bulk...
