Collins, an executive with Columbia Pictures and collector of highly stylized receivers of the '30s, '40s and '50s, has produced the nostalgic sleeper of the season.

The irony is that just as we have begun to decipher the climatic rhythms that have gone on for hundreds of millions of years, we may have begun to change them irrevocably...
