...succeeds masterfully. From his subconscious has come a movie that reflects the pubescence of a society whose view of sex is about as spiritual as a strawberry-flavored douche. Cat People is a reaction, a burp caused by the sexual junkfood of Hugh Hefner, erotic bakeries, and crotchless underwear. And, like belching, it provides relief though one feels obliged to say, "Excuse...

...closet, however, returns to basics. "It's not the wardrobe of a designer," he apologizes, showing a lineup of five navy-blue jackets and one of cashmere wool. In a neighboring closet are a full supply of denim and leather jeans, some old shirts, underwear from Bloomingdale's arranged by the housemaid in neat rows like grenadiers on parade, and an assortment of shoes, his own make as well as American and English...

...School show for high drama or for that matter for good singing or dancing. With the exception of Ken Hodder as the professor whose underwear must be too tight and Greg Martin, as the future real estate tycoon, this cast would get cut from most House productions. Several of the solo vocal numbers simply embarrass the audience as well as the performers.
