...Sunday night's show will be aired on American network ABC this week. De Vries will also tour various channels (De Vries says he is scheduled to appear on Larry King Live) to comment on the case. But after a weekend full of televised revelations, the jury is still...
...together as reluctant conspirators or isolating each in his or her predicament. Bebe's examination of Gabi, and his insertion of the syringe, is accomplished in one harrowing shot. There's a bustling scene, at the birthday party of Otilia's boyfriend's mother, that becomes a kind of tour de force - a 7-1/2min. take, with the careless gaiety of the celebrants making the girl's misery all the more palpable.

...early 1979 the comics were growing restive. For one thing, Mitzi Shore's little artists' colony was the center of a growing comedy empire. Along with her two clubs in the L.A. area and another one down the coast in La Jolla, she had started a college concert tour featuring comics from the Comedy Store and signed a creative-consultant deal with ABC to develop TV projects. She had expanded her original club as well, opening a second showroom, dubbed the Main Room, where she intended to feature (and pay for) top comics from Vegas...
