History may have abandoned this backwater metropolis, once heralded as "the gateway to America," but life goes on in stunning profusion. Garcia Marquez generously populates a place "where everything was known, and where many things were known even before they happened, above all if they concerned the rich." But the constant gossip actually pays little heed to class distinctions. Whatever their status, the author's characters energetically play their parts in the human comedy. They are born to die.

As Jennifer, she tries to be nice to Nicky and caring to Gino. Local viewers may find Jennifer particularly cute in the crimson Harvard sweatshirt with white lettering sold at the Coop but will gain little else from Curtis' part in the film. Curtis does not really detract from the movie, but she does not contribute much either...
