...Lillian Hellman. That spirit made it as far as the book, but the film's a whole different deal. For one thing, it's hard to imagine Hellman being cute by wrinkling the nose she once threw herself from a tree to break for an excuse to have it reset: afterward, she said, "it looked different but not different enough."

Whenever the mike stand came crashing to the ground, an obedient roadie would diligently high-tail it across the stage in order to reset it, in perfect likeness to a ballboy during a championship tennis match...
