Jake Gyllenhaal has just those qualities, plus huge brown eyes and a fretful mouth, giving him the look of a spaniel afraid he's about to be swatted. He won kind notices in October Sky and The Good Girl, and now in Moonlight Mile he heads a cast that includes Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon and Holly Hunter.

The notion that jeans are the color they have faded to is passe. At the Gap they have run from "blasted bluegrass" to "moonlight." Next season there will be 15 more hues (or "washes," as they are called) to choose from--all blue...
