...only to plow his money into other ideas, some of which were not successful enough to a sustain his membership | in the world of mega° wealth. McCracken said he would probably sock his funds into yet another notion, as he always has. (Next time you go to the cinema, as you pass those hot dogs turning on those tubular rollers, think of McCracken. He made a million...
...family, although it is hard to know how much is fact and how much is the work of Soviet mythmakers. The name of Chernenko's wife is Anna Dmitrievna. She is in her 60s and is apparently in good health. She is said to love the theater and the cinema, and on occasion has arranged private screenings of Soviet movies for other Kremlin wives.

Director Howard Zieff has retained the classic farcical premise: a jealous husband (Dudley Moore) is erroneously convinced that his young wife (Nastassja Kinski) is cuckolding him and is maniacally determined to gain revenge. Sturges...
...film is neverthe-less intricately worked out psychologically. It plays like a lovely chamber piece, and its actors work with a good musical quartet's instinctive politesse and self-effacing skill, muting individual flights in deference to total effect. Carpi may never be a Beethoven of the cinema, but he could perhaps be a Schubert, and there are few enough of those making movies these days...
