...celluloid disasters. But that has not stopped Director Michael Cimino from undertaking yet another big-budget epic: The Sicilian, based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel. Now being filmed in Italy, the movie centers on the short, bloody career of Italian Gangster Salvatore Giuliano, a real-life Robin Hood of the late '40s who dreamed of turning Sicily into a U.S. state.

Last week Comic Robin Williams, 34, filled the cavernous stage of New York City's Metropolitan Opera House all by himself for two sold-out shows that were taped by HBO for a broadcast special. As usual, his seemingly extemporaneous material was achingly funny, mostly ribald and partly tailored to his surroundings: "Imagine Pavarotti at the Improv (comedy club)," he mused. Saluting the opera house itself, Williams called its huge crystal chandeliers "earrings from the Imelda Marcos collection...
William Douglas, a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, tried to turn his appointments with Prostitute Robin Benedict into a love affair. The price to Douglas was his savings; the cost to Benedict was her life. This is the most sensitively rendered of nine crime tales of middle-class America.
