...Sakharov, Jason Robards provides a commanding presence but few signs of emotional life. His mournful, hound-dog face, lower lip jutting forward in stoic determination, looks ready to apply for enshrinement on Mount Rushmore. He sheds little light on the motives behind Sakharov's late-blooming activism, though the fault may lie more in Rintels' overly reverent script than in Robards' characterization. Glenda Jackson, making a rare U.S. TV performance, brings a few moments of passion to her role as Yelena. In one scene, she chillingly describes the courtroom cheers that greeted a death sentence handed...
...movie, for no apparent reason other than to ultimately send Arnold on a cross-country bus journey to the glittery world of Las Vegas. It is there that Arthur begins to open up express his emotions, and in a moving, if somewhat contrived, scene aboard a bus, Arnold (Jason Presson) confesses to a stranger that "he did a terrible thing," Arthur subsequently returns to his grandfather, who helps him realize that he is ready to come home...

...sweater. The movie does no better with comedy than with romance--scenes that are not maudlin tend to be pathetic. There is a pronounced effort to make the cast look as unappealing as possible, presumably to add a comic touch and to scoff convention. "Who does your wardrobe, Quasimodo?" Jason asks Phoebe in one of his lucid moments...
Altogether, Romantic Comedy boasts some of the least appealing love scenes ever. Erotic ineptitude provides the grounds for a break-up--when Jason and Phoebe get together for the happy end, the camera lingers, then fades out on the couple who seem to be maiming each other on a couch. The sight is pathetic rather than funny. For this film a "Prohibited" rather than a "Restricted" rating would seem appropriate...
