...years ago, the word salon was scorned in the art world. It suggested a chaotic visual mob scene with thousands of mediocre paintings and sculptures stacked from floor to ceiling of an exhibition hall, accepted or rejected at the whim of reactionary committees. Good art, it was felt, did not disclose itself in crowd scenes. It was found in small concentrations in private galleries, or in tightly curated theme shows in museums, or in artists' retrospectives.

Unfortunately, sheer visual zip is not enough to carry the film; it drags from one scuffle to the next. Deborah Van Valkenburgh, as the love interest of the Warriors' War Chief (Michael Beck), provides a few libidinous moments; a lesbian disco dance scene has its peculiar charms.

...pretty quick two hours, an encouraging sign for any theater presentation. If you've never been to a Pudding show before, get a taste of Overtures. You won't go tapioca like the giggling Brahmin businessman sitting next to you, but there's enough solid visual comedy and quality music to pull you through and give you something impressive to write your mother. I chose not to write mine, mainly because I jotted down all the good puns to spring on her as originals when I go home for vacations...
