...Farrow) and his longing for the wife (Mary Steenburgen) he cannot satisfy sexually. When he tries and she finds his ardor disgusting, he retorts, "How can it be? I haven't taken my clothes off yet." Allen's directorial eye finds amusement in restraint, allowing characters to wander in and out of a static frame, playing droll tricks on his own autocratic camera. Gordon Willis has shot the pastoral exteriors in delicate earth tones. In one lovely shot, Steenburgen, a backwoods madonna, reclines in the high grass and gently places a large, soft hat over her face. Camera...
IMAGES of a ravaged country drift before our eyes via television. Homeless adults confront the remains of shelled-out dwellings, abandoned children wander, uncomprehending and terrified; thick black smoke distorts once beautiful skylines.

The center contains Barbican Hall, home of the London Symphony Orchestra, three cinemas, an art gallery, two restaurants and the Barbican Theater, which last week became the new London home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, replacing the venerable Aldwych...
Ensuring that his hero gets squared off and paired up is not the only thing on Forsyth's mind. He has a genial taste for mild eccentrics and sees to it that plenty of them wander in and out of Gregory's life. There is a friend who is overstuffed with useless facts ("Did you know when you sneeze it comes out of your nose at 160 miles per hour?" he inquires of a girl he's trying to impress), a headmaster who encourages a student's underground traffic in exotic pastry because...
