...scenes in the White House are just as comical, with staffers and military officers constantly running around as Close battles it out with the Defense Secretary over who has top say in this situation. It takes the Attorney General, various snide remarks, and a final moment-of-conscience from the V.P. herself for her to decide that Marshall is still in control. Close also has a great moment when she's able to shut up an entire press conference: leaving reporters with nothing to say is no small feat...
...deux in the lake scene, and it was for Bourne the biggest challenge. Not wanting to alienate some members of his audience by making it homosexual, he turned it into a dance for man and bird. The device works, but that won't completely eliminate the snide remarks about guys on pointe.

Diana Rigg, as Martha, the university president's daughter frustrated with her underachieving history-teacher husband, is acid, sexy and funny without turning into a camp diva spewing one-liners. She is matched snide-for-snide by David Suchet (PBS's Poirot), with his oversize glasses and chiseled, world-weary sarcasm. Together with Lloyd Owen and Clare Holman as the young couple drawn into the game playing, they bring out all the lacerating power and poignancy of Albee's depiction of the blasted American...
