Other vitamins can actually be harmful. Vitamin A can be dangerous if taken in excess. Overdoses of vitamin D can produce demineralization of bone, resulting in multiple fractures after minimal trauma. Though lack of vitamins may cause health problems, the pills are not-and should not be-regarded as panaceas. "People," says Philip White, an American Medical Association nutrition expert, "have been led to believe that positive health benefits will occur: super vitality, great endurance, freedom from illness, resistance to infection.

Rafelson splurges on suggestiveness and bankrupts the meaning of his suggestion. Sally's menopausal trauma is supposed to be a simmer that slowly comes to boil in manic proportions. But Rafelson dissects it into a series of chic vignettes; she throws a tantrum over rusty bathwater, is glimpsed through a bedroom door, naked, giddily squirting a watergun at a cowboy costumed Jessica. Tear-streaked, she burns her beauty aids with funereal ceremony, mourns...
