Reviews:
"...A very classy movie....Superb performances..." - 03/25/1988 New York Times, p.C1


"...Park Overall proves deliciously sly and knowing....The most intriguing performance comes from Christopher Walken...By starting so coolly, his subsequent aberrations seem all the more shocking..." - 03/23/1988 Variety


"...It has some marvelous moments....Nichols seems to have perfect pitch when he's working with Simon..." - 03/25/1988 Los Angeles Times, p.C1


"...Crackling dialogue and vivid characterisation....There are some moments to savour..." - 06/01/2000 Sight and Sound, p.61
