...LIFE of Chris McCormack, fashion model: Chris's young sister (played by Margaux' real sister, Mariel) invites her music teacher Gordon Stuart home to meet Chris. Stuart (played by Chris Sarandon, Al Pacino's haunted, hysterical male wife in Dog Day Afternoon) composes modern music. He comes to Chris's apartment with a cassette of his screeching electronic creations under his arm, moog pieces which he plays for her with the tentative devotion of a supplicant offering a sacrifice to a goddess. She's bored, her attention wanders, she takes a phone call. Tantalized by her public image and enraged...
Hemingway seems understandably comfortable in the role of Chris. Too comfortable, at times; she simply walks through many of the scenes, saucereyed, plopping her lines into the laps of others. But her acting improves when she's in good company; she's fine in the rape scene, where Chris Sarandon gives a controlled performance of a moderately sick young man, without resorting to the crazed eyes and maniacal gestures of the stereotype. And her willful strength in the courtroom is the reflected glow of Anne Bancroft's fiery performance as her lawyer. Bancroft, looking rather haggard, uses her familiar tight...
...played by Chris Sarandon (the transvestite of Dog Day Afternoon), the rapist does not fit the profile of the typical sex offender, a street punk making his way up from petty theft to murder.

...instance, an Oriental cathouse that is never seen but frequently talked about, generally with such references as "I sure could use a little of that sweet and sour right now." They also create a sequence hi which Burns visits Hildy's fiancee (played with popeyed persistence by Susan Sarandon) and passes himself off as Johnson's probation officer. This kicks off a scene of lengthy anxiety about Hildy's fearful (but imaginary) crime, which turns out to be flashing...
Fear and Frustration. Bill Compton (Dennis Patrick) is a $60,000-a-year Manhattan advertising executive whose young daughter (Susan Sarandon) has run off to live with an East Village junkie. She is not there when her father goes to her apartment, but he gets into an argument with her boy friend and inadvertently beats him to death. He staggers into a local bar where Joe (Peter Boyle), a $160-a-week welder, is holding forth. When Joe finally screams, "I'd like to kill one of them!", Compton looks up and whispers, "I just did." Joe later realizes...
