Supporting these superb performers is an ensemble of a quality far more common in London than the U.S. Notable among them: Julie Hagerty, who makes Hildy's fiancee a genuine lure instead of a drippy debutante; Ed Lauter as the nastiest newsman; Jack Wallace as a dumb, obsequious but likable cop; Deirdre O'Connell as the doomed hooker; and Jerome Dempsey as a chillingly venal mayor. Tony Walton's set deftly uses a 65-ft. depth on the Vivian Beaumont stage to convey a cavernous public building in Roman Preposterous style, and Willa Kim's costumes evoke the era without...
...Orsay has called them in and resifted them. The best-known of these collections was that of Paris' renowned impressionist museum, the Jeu de Paume, which, before its collection was moved across the Seine last summer, was attracting three-quarters of a million visitors annually to gaze at its superb Cezannes, Monets, Renoirs, Van Goghs and Lautrecs. There was a residue of 19th century work from Paris' former Musee National d'Art Moderne, whose 20th century collections had already been siphoned off into the Centre Pompidou. Major sculptures, including Rodin's original plasters, came from the Rodin museum in Paris...
...peak of tact and skill in the galleries for impressionism and postimpressionism at the top of the museum, fitted into the dead space between facade and vault. This parade of rooms, with its 30 or so Van Goghs, its nearly 40 Cezannes, its Monets and Manets and Renoirs, its superb array of Degas bronzes, is bound to be the popular core of the museum, and Aulenti was right to put it up high, closest to the light. "Light is impressionism," she says. "I wanted the light here to be felt as it was by the painters, to be experienced...
...Houdini," reflects Dr. Thomas Loescher, Appleton's chief emergency- room physician, "was probably the greatest magician who ever lived: the drama, the presentation, the superb physical ability, the personality. I've always felt proud he was from Appleton. It's living in reflected glory, I guess." It wasn't until 1985 that the city finally got around to honoring its most celebrated citizen, dedicating its new downtown plaza in his honor. The house where the Weiss family used to live stood just to one side, notes William A. Brehm Jr., a card-carrying magician who is also the city...
Eric Roberts is superb as the unbalanced amorous technician. "I'm not a very secure citizen," Riley confesses, as if anyone needed to ask. Riley blunders, rages and loves his way into Cassie's life, mirroring Cassie's insecurity with his own lifetime of self-doubt. "You'll never do anything worse than I have done," says Riley, to reassure Cassie. Together, Roberts and Arquette's romantic stumblings make Fool a enjoyable, user-friendly film...
