...live-in friend, combines the charm of Sally Field with the comic timing of Soupy Sales-and somehow looks like both. Together they demonstrate that even treacle pudding can pack some savor. Only Kaleena Kiff, 7, is a problem. She is not unbearable; she is not a toy saint; she is just not there. Perhaps it is unfair to ask a child to carry the weight of a sitcom-unless he weighs 200 Ibs., like the newborn creature played by Jonathan Winters on Mork and Mindy (ABC, Thursdays...

The Revolution is the "forge" France must pass through. The shadows of dozens of pikes parade across a wall in Napoleon's room. Robespierre and Saint-Just chat about whom to execute during the Terror. A florid Danton pours forth impassioned speeches, while Marat, played by Antonin Artaud, looks as if he has walked out of David's painting complete with a towel around his head. In these types of scenes the depth of Gance...
