...perk up this familiar rehash, Updike gives his clergyman a bag of Nabokovian wordplays and tries to pass him off as Humbert Humbert (in Lolita, Humbert observed, "You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style"). Marshfield rattles off alliterations as if he were on death row. He describes a local nursery "which piously kept its Puerto Rican peony-pluckers in a state of purposeful peonage." With nary a blush he writes of returning home to the "fusty forgiveness of my fanlighted foyer." His frequent dissections of sex and theology revolve around a central question: How many...
Sensual Fire. Plisetskaya's Odette is all shimmering ice; her Carmen is sensual fire. By and large, this version of the Prosper Mérimée story is downright ludicrous. Set to a percussive rehash of Bizet melodies (some from Carmen, some not), the choreography by Cuba's Alberto Alonso must have seemed madly daring when it was first shown in Moscow seven years ago.

...Blood, playing with The Touch, continues its week-long run at Harvard Sq., and if you're not up for one of the political films, this is your best bet in Cambridge's commercial houses. If the plot is all that interests you, Wedding is pretty much a rehash of the old crimes of passion story. If technique arouses you, if you are inspired by brilliant performances and intelligent social comment, then this is the film...
Married. David Birney, 33, and Meredith Baxter, 26, stars of Bridget Loves Bernie, television's ill-fated rehash of Abie's Irish Rose; both for the second time; in Manhattan. Although on the screen Bridget was a Catholic and Bernie a Jew, the couple are both Protestants; they were wed in a traditional Presbyterian ceremony...
