...want realism, I want magic" lines with such charm. And Brando, in his first major role, delivers a lecture on the Napoleonic Code itself worth the price of admission. Neither role is burdened with too much realism; but, like Blanche, Williams works best with magic and myth. Or, to cop another duBois-ism, "50 per cent of this film's charm is illusion."

When the marchers neared the park, they were met by 1,500 whites, including many beer-sotted youths who hurled jeers, curses and debris. Only 300 policemen were on hand, half as many as were needed to keep the marchers and the mob apart.

When the job of top cop came open, Sporkin was a natural for it. But neither his superiors nor his wife nor three children have ever been able to make him look like a businessman-or a lawyer either. Enveloped in a rumpled suit, with a stubby tie barely reaching the slope of his ample belly, Sporkin...
