...Lorene Yarnell to act out his messages. One of the most elaborate of the spots, the tale of a misunderstood elephant, combines cartoon animation, costumed frolicking by the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company and a clever voice-over (see box). In another, the A.B.T. dances out the story of a squirrel who was good at finding nuts...
...from the backseat of Burt's van, where she last displayed her talents--prone--in Smokey and the Bandits. In Norma Rae, Ritt allows Fields aging starlet cuteness to work for her.

Martin Ritt must be congratulated--he alone saw ability in an actress whose talents were last displayed--prone--in the backseat of Burt Reynolds' van in the mindless Smokey and the Bandit...
...River Hotel, the aesthetic highlight is a bowl of bouillon on which float three yellow-eyed ducklings made of egg white. The culinary triumph is a sweet-and-sour fresh-water mandarin fish, confected with ham, onion, potato, sausage, mushroom and ginger. It is sculptured to resemble a squirrel, hence the dish is announced in advance by one interpreter as "tree rat," provoking preprandial nausea among several F.F.s...
