...biggest deficiency, and it is a serious one, is that Susa never quite delivers the musical climax that the material demands. It is quite canny to stage simultaneously the death of Valmont and his inamorata, Madame de Tourvel, aptly illustrating their bond beyond the grave. But here, and in the final scene, when Merteuil is snubbed, shunned and ruined by the pox, the music needs to be bolder, richer; the composer must make clear exactly how he feels about what has happened to his characters as, say, Berg does at the end of Wozzeck...
...ankles just when they shouldn't. Their Devil is Pegleg, a swallow- tailed lowlife who learned his wiles behind the footlights of some sleazy Weimar cabaret, a la Joel Grey. They are surrounded by weirdos who make the Addams Family look like the Waltons. Among them: Wilhelm's inamorata, the robotically hysterical Kathchen; her fright-wigged father Bertram; an overbearing uncle who, in a hilarious non sequitur, tells the story of how Hemingway sold the movie rights to The Snows of Kilimanjaro; and a dead ancestor in Boris Karloff makeup whose only advice to the living is, "Do what thou...

Hinckley won the prize any deranged, unrequited lover seeks: he would be forever linked with his unknowing inamorata...
...Brantley Foster, come to conquer the business world. His uncle (Richard Jordan) runs a vulnerable conglomerate; his inamorata (Helen Slater) is the boss's minor squeeze; the older woman who beds Brantley is the boss's wife (Margaret Whitton). And now that we have the farce machinery purring, let's kick it into high gear. Naaah, why bother? Director Herbert Ross and Writers Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr. and A J Carothers know this picture exists only as a mobile Michael J. Fox poster, suitable for display on the bedroom walls of twelve-year-olds named Cindy. Secret earned nearly...
