...adult themes, unconventional music and innovative flights of staging and dance. Now Prince and Sondheim have adapted one of their shows to the screen, and the results are perversely stupefying. The film version of A Little Night Music looks less like a daring Prince-Sondheim creation than an anachronistic retread of Naughty Marietta...
With Halas in left, right field looks like a three-way dogfight between the same combatants as last year--strong-hitter Charlie Santos-Buch (.313), lefty Billy Blood (.269) and some kinda fleet-footed Bobby Jenkins (.320). Football retread Brian Buckley could bag his designated hitter chores to do some outfielding...
...turn the game around, and the fans on. It became 4-2 at 15:55 when Bobby McDonald fed a perfect backhand centering pass to Tommy Murray for Harvard's second tally.

The song is striking proof of Ronstadt's artistic maturity: two or three years ago she probably would have let her voice get away from...

It may be too late to revive that show, which never laughed quite hard enough at itself, but Lorelei is a particularly tawdry retread. Jule Styne has added a few routine songs; and the book, originally by Anita Loos and Joseph Fields, has been updated by Kenny Solms and Gail Parent. Lorelei has been touring the country for eleven months. Perhaps that is why not even the Art Deco sets - inappropriate for a 1920s...
