...excitement on Broadway. Joanne Woodward as Amanda Wingfield, the desperate matriarch. Karen Allen, star of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Starman, as the soulful daughter Laura. TV Star James Naughton (Trauma Center, Planet of the Apes) as Laura's "gentleman caller." And John Sayles, filmmaker (Return of the Secaucus Seven) and novelist (Union Dues), making his professional stage debut as Tom, the restless, seething son who narrates Tennessee Williams' doom-struck "memory play" about his family. Add a designer who has won a Tony nomination, a director who has mounted more than 100 productions at venues including...
...been charged with grand larceny as well as 125 counts of falsifying business documents and eleven counts of filing phony papers with government agencies. The men allegedly defrauded the New York City Transit Authority on a $186 million subway contract awarded in 1978 to the Schiavone Construction Co. of Secaucus, N.J. At the time, Donovan was executive vice president and one of two controlling stockholders in the firm. Donovan tried to have his indictment dismissed, partly on the ground that it was politically motivated. The head prosecutor, Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola, is a four-term Democrat.

This is a movie about getting through a weekend without being bored or driven to tears, about bull sessions that become psychodramas, about making do and making love and making breakfast the next morning.

His new film is being released by Paramount Pictures, was shot with a union crew, and is the first Sayles movie he has not edited on the kitchen table of his home in Hoboken, N.J. But Baby, It's You is not the traditional calling-card film of an ambitious young...
...intimate realistic portrait like this to come alive, every brush stroke must be telling, precise. It is a delicate matter of nuance and gesture, qualities Sayles meshed perfectly (on a $60,000 budget) in his first independent feature, Return of the Secaucus 7. In the more lavishly budgeted Lianna, everyone at first seems to be trying too hard not to try too hard. But as its heroine discovers resources of wit and self-confidence, the film does too. By the end it has turned a "problem drama" into a social comedy, full of cagey behavioral surprises and a lovely performance...
