Cradle Will Rock (finally -- it is only around a month and a
half since I said it was the movie I most wanted to see, and have
seen at least half a dozen movies since then). Tim Robbins'
exploration on several levels of how people sell themselves had
too many plots to be entirely coherent, but was greatly
entertaining anyway. If one or two were cut out and the rest
lengthened and more of an explanantion made, it would have been
spectacular. Unfortunately to me, the easiest subplot to remove
would have been Bill Murray's ventriloquist, which would have
deprived us of a wonderful performance; although that word could
be applied to most of the acting (the biggest exception being the
person playing John Houseman). 3 1/2 stars (out of 4).
