...while, a film that's not on our liturgical calendar gains a must-see reputation. At press luncheons or in the corridors by the critics' mail boxes, we hear of a picture that has seized some early viewers' imaginations and becomes a Word of Mouth hit. Then we beg the publicist for an extra screening. It's as if we learned that a cup of café au lait at some backwater dive was the Holy Grail. Gotta have a sip from that...
