...upon hearing of the latest charges, there was one thing she could focus on to the exclusion of whatever she was thinking about her husband, it was her hatred of Starr. She was predisposed to view Clinton as more victim than villain because she has always taken his enemies seriously, and none more so than the prosecutor who had questioned her integrity, made her run the gauntlet of cameras to testify before a Washington grand jury, implicated her in every alleged White House misdeed. "This is a fight that she is goddam well not going to lose," said a former...
...Warner Bros. Krane adds that ROGER CHRISTIAN, a filmmaking protege of GEORGE LUCAS', is directing the summer '99 shoot, and Patrick Tatopoulos, who designed creature effects for Godzilla and Independence Day, will create the movie's aliens.

Monteleoni makes Rote a smarmy, slinky villain--an interpretation which occasionally becomes awkward but ultimately gels. He explodes in the final scenes with Suzy in the dark, convincing us that he has no mercy for the helpless woman whom he considers only a tiny obstacle on the path to his ultimate goal...
