...Passe, who is married to actor Paul Le Mat (American Graffiti, Melvin and Howard), has had an occasionally stormy working relationship with Gordy. She describes him, only partly in jest, as a special kind of mentor, "a tormentor." Yet Gordy has given de Passe the freedom to run the company as she sees fit. Says Gordy: "If somebody had asked me a year ago, I would never have guessed we were going to do a western." Now that de Passe has reached near the top of Hollywood's mostly white, mostly male elite, she maintains that...
...greatness of this film derives, finally, from its specificity. Pelle is rich in characters and subplots, and as the seasons turn, they intersect, diverge and intersect again, forming a rough, wonderfully textured weave, unlike anything one is used to brushing against in the modern cinema.

When Singleton was paroled two weeks ago, after serving nearly eight years of a 14-year, four-month sentence, local officials across the state took court action to ensure that he would not settle in their communities...
Alydar felt better too. Alysheba's renowned sire, the only horse ever to finish second in all of the Triple Crown races, stands at leafy Calumet not 50 feet from his old tormentor Affirmed. Guess whose sexual favors are worth $350,000 and who has trouble looking whom in the eye now. The bay colt Alysheba, 8-1 in the Derby, is an honest horse but has a hard time keeping to a straight course. In the Blue Grass Stakes nine days earlier, Alysheba finished first but was demoted for swerving in the stretch. Deep thinkers who drop...
