...Roof, it is the most obvious. (The production, part of the network's "Broadway on Showtime" series, premiered on Sunday and will repeat this Wednesday and on several dates next week and next month.) Jessica Lange, who stars as Maggie the Cat, leaps into her syrupy, Scarlett O'Hara cadences like an eight-year-old sloshing around in a mud puddle: "One of the no-neck mahn-stuhs messed up mah luv-ly lace dress." O.K., folks, one can almost hear her say, just watch...
Ferraro even handled a brush with Southern chauvinism with an aplomb worthy of Scarlett O'Hara. As the candidates dryly discussed farm issues near a soybean field north of Jackson, the state's venerable agriculture commissioner, Jim Buck Ross, asked Ferraro if she had ever eaten catfish.

But since, like Scarlett O'Hara, he puts off thinking about the hard questions until tomorrow, he always loses his way. He traces an allegory of man's brief bewildering journey from his mother's womb to Mother Earth...
Virtually every blockbuster movie is a powerful fable of resilience. The audience finds vicarious strength watching Scarlett rebuild Tara, or Maria von Trapp spirit her brood out of Hitler's Austria, or Don Corleone take his cold-dish revenge. E.T. gives its viewers more, from less. Here is a fairy tale set in the most mundane of contemporary realities: a typical California suburb. The creature appears to his friend Elliott in a pizza-strewn back yard; he lives in a child's closet. As E.T. built his "phone home" device from old toys and household castaways, so Spielberg fashioned...
