...come two impotent saviors, her brother Michael Twelvetrees (Dan Deitch) and former boyfriend Steven Blaine (Dan Chumley). Twelvetrees has his own problem; he surreptitiously takes photographs of himself making love to girlfriend Samantha Quentin (Maeve Kinkead). And Blaine is afraid to approach Anastasia. He keeps watch from a phone booth near her apartment, smoking cigarettes and counting the gangbusters who pass in and out of Eden's Gates. Finally he pockets his dime and acts. Hunter carefully draws that last scene to a beautiful and appropriate conclusion, a full circle dead end. Then he inexplicably attacks the mood, stomps...

The case in point concerned a small-time Los Angeles gambler, Charles Katz, whose calls from a public phone booth had been bugged by the FBI without a warrant and with a device that had been taped to the top of the booth to avoid the trespass disability. Stewart conceded for the sake of argument that the FBI agents did not bug until they had good reason to believe that Katz was using the phone to violate federal law; then they were careful to listen only to Katz and to stop as soon as they had collected what...
