...Vacation," Brooke Shields, 19, who returns to school there this week, should have no problem finding something to write about. While her classmates may have been hiking in Nepal or holding regular summer jobs, Brooke spent four weeks on location in Nassau for a made-for-TV movie called Wet Gold. She plays a waitress who goes on a treasure hunt with her boyfriend, a scuba diver and the salty survivor of a sunken ship (Burgess Meredith, 75). The two younger men fight over Brooke and of course everybody rights over the gold. "She's quite a girl," says...

...movie ends on the same picture. While the two hours in between are entertaining enough a witty and sometimes outrageous romance complete with homosexual obsession, witchcraft, and enough lurid fantasy to earn the picture an X. The Fourth Man is nonetheless predictable and studied, almost like a computer's wet dream...

...does it with a peculiar combination of ambisexual eroticism and self-mythologizing. Until Purple Rain, Prince played at being a prisoner of sex who craved a life sentence. Some of his song titles sounded like cuts on a Pigmeat Markham party record (Head, Soft and Wet). If there was a unifying theme to his lyrics-indeed, a governing obsession-it was that carnal knowledge is the ultimate wisdom.
