...that to be a success, certain principles must be modified, others scrapped entirely. By the end of the film, as he tries desperately to procure a textile contract, Somnath has literally become a pimp. The Middleman is understated, sorrowful, full of sly, rueful humor. Ray remains one of the cinema's best poets of the lost chance and a vanishing culture...
King of Hearts. After roughly six months of pretending to be a real movie theater, the Central Cinema appears to have give up the ghost and brought back the King of Hearts for an encore to its five year run.

Now 28 and a seasoned cinema bunkmate (appearing with Al Pacino in Serpico, with Michael Sarrazin in The Reincarnation of Peter Proud), the actress has sunk her straightened teeth into a new role. Cast as a neo-Mata Hari in The Next Man, Sharpe sets out to wipe out a Saudi Arabian Minister of State, played by Sean Cannery, 46. Would-be assassin, however, quickly turns amorist. "It's a love story dipped in oil," coos Cornelia, who hints that her days...
