And his sense of dramatic terribilità, in the midst of the grotesque, was unparalleled. Few demonic images in Western art radiate such a nightmarish charge of sexual energy as The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, 1803-05.

They spent a lot of time together, talking quietly on the set. At the cast party, Travolta remembers, "we admitted not only a friendly attraction but a sexual one.
