YESTERDAY'S IMMORTAL MASTERPIECE (all in the same review):
"BE WARNED -- A MAN MIGHT DIE LAUGHING AT
SLY FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
--The late [sic] Clive Barnes, late of the
Times, writing on the overrated Larry Gelbart's adaptation of Jonson's
Volpone, on December 15, 1976.
"All the way back to biblical times of yore, rape has been one of the most heinous offenses known to man. And it can be pretty rough on women, too."
A line from
Sly Fox.
"A relic."
Ben Brantley [!!!!!] in his review of a revival of
Sly Fox, on April 2, 2004.
P. S. I see the
Times is now letting readers
review the reviews. But why stop at the reviews? Let the readers review the
stories! Let second-guessing prevail! Heck the
Times can't do worse than the amateurs.
