...from Heaven Martin essayed nostalgic surrealism; in The Lonely Guy he was a mensch for all seasons; All of Me provided him a tour de force of physical comedy; his turn in Little Shop of Horrors boasted a wondrously manic concentration of energy. By now he was becoming the snazziest farceur, and maybe the most appealing movie comic, of the '80s. Now he had only to try a romantic lead, as if to say, I can do that. Too. Hence Roxanne...
Ronald Bass's clever script never apologizes for Catharine, never explains her. It knows, as Alex does, that "nobody knows why anybody does anything." And Rafelson, in his snazziest stint since Five Easy Pieces (1970), locates meaning in each thrill and frill. He gives Supporting Players Nicol Williamson and James Hong juicy vignettes. He gives Winger a role that taps her smarts, humor and goofy-gorgeous smile. And he gives Russell the movie. In the past she has mainly graced the films of her husband Nicolas Roeg.

He is the best reason to see the snazziest revival in town...
...four-passenger DB 6 that has a full back seat and sells for $15,400. For the man who wants to take his wife and kids to the beach in a hurry-say at 150 m.p.h.-Aston-Martin has just the answer: the $22,500 Shooting Brake, certainly the snazziest station wagon ever built...
