...stars and songs. On a good night, Broadway will have more stars than there are in Hollywood. Elizabeth Taylor spent the summer in town with The Little Foxes, and this fall a quartet of grandes dames will lend their incandescence to the stage: Katharine Hepburn in The West Side Waltz, Claudette Colbert in A Talent for Murder, Anne Bancroft in Duet for One, Joanne Woodward as Shaw's Candida. And then, and always, there are the musicals. At least 16 have been announced, including one potential gem that begins previews next week: Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, directed...
Unfortunately, that is about all that A Tale Told does make clear. Talley's Folly was a slight but charming romance, a one-act waltz for two characters. Fifth of July, which is still running on Broadway, is the hilarious but moving story of the Talleys today, with Kenneth, the inheritor of that big house, coming to terms with the fact that he left both legs behind in Viet Nam. But the newest play, which should have been the first, chronologically, just meanders, with no discernible destination. A telegram announces the death of Timmy, for instance, and Timmy...
...apprentices and students from the company-related School of American Ballet. Both John Taras, one of the ballet masters, and Peter Martins, the company's top male dancer, who is doing more and more choreography, did their best work for students. Taras' setting of the sophisticated waltz from Eugene Onegin is a civilized pleasure to watch. He creates unfussy, satisfying patterns and matches them to the still developing skills of his cast. They should be grateful for their roles, and it is likely that the Onegin waltz, knowing and unassuming, will be around a long time...
...Allen's boy figure did in the film Stardust Memories. Running into a flyweight booking agent (Jack Weston), Enid wheedles him into auditioning Paul. Terrified, the boy flubs a few tricks and becomes ill. In a total tangent, Enid and the agent embark on a bittersweet mating waltz that ends sourly...
...that cameras move, so, unlike The Deer Hunter, his new movie isn't almost entirely composed of long and medium shots with the camera staring. There are some exhilirating, sweeping pans of the vast homestead and interesting tracking through the streets of Casper, Wyo. In two parallel scenes--a waltz in Harvard Yard (it's actually Oxford) at the beginning of the film and a party at the Heaven's Gate Skating Arena in Wyoming--Cimino's camera moves with a lovely, fluid grace, catching you up in the excitement of the event. Cimino captures well the spirit of social...
