...ranks. In a "recognition that foreign affairs goes beyond government to the world of culture," says a spokeswoman, the think tank and publisher awarded memberships last month to applicants WARREN BEATTY, a Senator in Bulworth; Michael Douglas, the leader of the free world in The American President; and Richard Dreyfuss, a Latin American dictator in Moon over Parador. The trio may now join fellow actor and member Ron Silver at the group's speaking events and book-club meetings. As a thank-you, we suggest they help the Veep get a role in a nice date movie...
...hyped than The Producers, the smash American musical comedy that in its three-year Broadway run has raked in $193 million and won a record 12 Tony awards. With opening night set for Nov. 9 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, posters and playbills were printed up headlining Richard Dreyfuss, who would be taking the leading role in London as Max Bialystock, a shyster showman who puts on a surefire flop so the tax collectors will never spot that it was designed to bilk hordes of investors.

...show's loss is also its gain, because rushing to the rescue is the acclaimed Nathan Lane, who originated the role of Max on Broadway, and will replace Dreyfuss for three months.

This time, though, he is betrayed by a languid style (long, distancing Steadicam takes) and a group of good actors who resolutely refuse to take charge of their characters' destinies or the plot's point. Aside from a couple of energetic performances by Richard Dreyfuss and Daryl Hannah, the actors stand around doing exposition--or, alternatively, miming puzzlement. The largest offender in this regard is Danny Huston, who plays the lead, an investigative reporter turned private eye, and is loxlike in his lack of any emotion aside from Weltschmerz...
...Richard Dreyfuss (Mr. Holland’s Opus) and Eric Stoltz (Pulp Fiction) star in this new production of Arthur Penn’s 1976 Broadway hit entitled Sly Fox. Foxwell J. Sly (Dreyfuss) is a con man operating at the emergence of the Gold Rush in San Francisco. The mad zeal for glittering nuggets proves to be a perfect opportunity for Sly and his assistant to make a tidy sum. The screenplay, written by Larry Gelbart, is a reimagining of Ben Jonson’s darkly comedic Volpone. The production will also feature Bronson...
