Most of the film has the quality of dislocation. It is lit like a Wyeth painting and informed with the lunatic logic of Magritte. Only twice does it grow didactic. In an Italian whorehouse, 19-year-old Nately (Art Garfunkel) confronts a 107-year-old pimp. The scene is photographed narrative, almost word-for-word from the book's symbolic and simplistic confrontation: weary but supposedly immortal Italy v. vigorous but naive and supposedly doomed America. When the boy accuses the ancient of shameless opportunism, the centenarian defends himself with the ultimate weapon: age. "I'll be 20 in January...
Officials at San Francisco's de Young Museum were happily sorting through their newest treasure trove-some 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures ranging from Boucher and Delacroix to Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.

Wyeth's latest painting, My Young Friend, finished just in time for the White House exhibition, is a portrait of "Sissy" Spruance, a shy 20-year-old who works as a stable girl on a farm near Wyeth's home in Pennsylvania's Brandywine Valley. "One day I spotted her riding bareback over the meadow, her braided hair flying and those two long strands falling over her face," recalls Wyeth. "She was wearing that raccoon hat as I have never seen any girl wear a hat -as if it were on an animal...
