...condescendingly. Baldwin plays Junior with a goofy grin and the scheming intensity of a small mind spinning its wheels and getting nowhere. Ward finds Hoke's integrity down at his heels. And Leigh, a gifted chameleon who deserves stardom, can wring pathos just by reading a recipe for vinegar pie or walking up the path to a house she will never own. Handsomely made, wonderfully acted, Miami Blues is the kind of picture Hollywood ought to be making more of. If only...
There are plenty of reasons to stage a major Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' most erotic, bedroom-centered play -- the power and vinegar of its language, the timelessness of its obsession with money, the candor and subtlety of its homosexual subtheme -- but only one reason why it actually happened. The vital factor was the availability of Kathleen Turner, steamiest of movie queens, to play Maggie the "cat," steamiest of Williams heroines.

Kopit's Bone-the-Fish is a malicious and effective send-up of David Mamet's Broadway hit about Hollywood greed, Speed-the-Plow. Yet it has a vigor, and vinegar, of its own. Kopit's wry premise is to take the rhetorical excesses of ambition -- people saying they would slit their wrists, eat excrement or give up an intimate body part to achieve some goal -- and render them literally. His hustlers from the fringe of the movie business (Joseph Ragno and Bruce Adler) are more than a little crazy. Even crazier is the fact that their self- abasement might...
