Woody Allen, whose dialogue has often provided ironic counterpoint to Gershwin melodies, has made Everyone Says I Love You, in which Allen, Goldie Hawn, Julia Roberts, Alan Alda and others break into song. Fortunately, the scary prospect of Alda warbling is balanced by the songs themselves--swank standards...
They make a swank couple with Old Hollywood reverbs: Grace Kelly dating James Dean. Pitt has updated Dean's outsider hero from East of Eden in the unhappy-family saga Legends of the Fall and played Anne Rice's Louis as a vampire without a cause.

...HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (June 21), the Disney animated feature that recasts Quasimodo as a semi-cute young fellow who learns the T. M. of F., also promises the vaulting swank of Alan Menken at his most pop-eratic and the saving japery of three witty gargoyles...
