A fine live early TV version of Mark Harris' novel. Given the limitations of a television studio,and doing a show "live",this is a bona fide homerun! Newman is great as Henry "author" Wiggen's,star lefthanded pitcher for the NY Mammoths,who takes the teams dying 3rd string catcher under his wing. Newman does a great adlib at the programs opening when he tosses a scrap of paper towards a wastebasket and misses,saying: "Hell of a pitcher I am,I can't even hit the trash can!"
That scrap of paper is the ONLY miss in this fine dramatization of one of the great baseball novels ever written. Too bad nobody has ever filmed the other two novels in Harris' trilogy about Henry Wiggens!And Newman i

Renoir's tale of Paris,the Cancan,a washer-girl and the Moulin Rouge.A more subdued,but highly entertaining version of the opening of the Moulin Rouge. Jean Gabin gives his usual excellent performance.The Technicolor photography on the print I saw was exquisite.An easy evening's viewing. chris w galla

Zappa's look at a 60/70s rock band on the road,small town america and
the realities behind the music industry was far ahead of it's time and
today seems far less dated than many contemporary films. Shot on video
tape and edited onto film,the film has a highly original look to
it,including shots where the roof of the studio it was shot in is
purposely visible. Keith Moon as a groupie obsessed nun,and Ringo Starr
as a dwarf made up to look like Zappa are among the movies
highlites,along with Theodore Bikel as the Devil,A.K.A. Rance Muhamitz. Thirty years after it's release ,still an entertaining film.It makes a
great double feature with the Monkees' film "Head",in which Zappa has a
