In the evenings she will be allowed to wear her own blouses, stockings, shoes and a watch...
Worst miscasting of Streisand, in a role vacated by Lisa Eichhorn and suitable only for the young Minnie Pearl: worst script by W.D. Richter (Slither, Brubaker); worst-looking meal ever served to a prospective lover (by Streisand to Hackman)-it looks like poured concrete on toast...
