Trivia

Goofs
When the Actress buys balloons at a newsstand, several vintage magazines are prominently displayed, but mid-1980s magazines can also be seen, including an issue of PC World.

Quotes
The Actress: I only said I knew, because you said you knew.
The Professor: I lied. Knowledge isn't truth. It's just mindless agreement. You agree with me, I agree with someone else - we all have knowledge. We haven't come any closer to the truth. You can never understand anything by agreeing, by making definitions. Only by turning over the possibilities. That's called thinking. If I say I know, I stop thinking. As long as I keep thinking, I come to understand. That way, I might approach some truth.

four caricatures

This starts with the filming of the iconic scene from The Seven Year Itch (1955). Marilyn Monroe (Theresa Russell) returns to her hotel. Senator Joseph MacCarthy (Tony Curtis) harasses Albert Einstein demanding that he testifies for his committee. Joe DiMaggio (Gary Busey) is having a drink at the bar.

I can't see more than simple caricatures in the performances. Tony Curtis is a little short which leaves him less threatening. Worst of all, he is too sweaty which is a deliberate way to paint his character. He's trying too hard in the wrong way. Theresa Russell does not have Marilyn's flirty fun. Gary Busey is being Gary Busey. I don't know much about the Einstein actor but he does a fine job even if I don't always love the writing. The plot is rather aimless. This is high concept with empty substance. It's a journey looking for a direction.
