Another Os-CAR® nominee!

Any why not? It'll give the effete snobs of Hollywood a good cry. We are sure it's as politically predictable a film as has come down the pike since -- well, since THE KNIGHTING OF ST. EDWARD OF MURROW. (Harry Belafonte's in the cast so it has the PC seal of approval.) We expect PRESIDENT BABS to come out of her latest retirement tour and warble a few sobs. The sad thing is this show of Hollywood sieg heil does an injustice to Robert Kennedy. For one thing it no doubt simplifies him into a liberal saint; we suspect by modern standards he was not that liberal. Also, he had a down side; he too liked bedding with starlets in excess, and he was politically ruthless to the point of self-parody; for a time he was the Democrats' Joe McCarthy. And yet, the man had youth, and promise, and the Kennedy vigor, and he was killed by a terrorist in his prime -- and there's another thing we expect the knee-jerks to tap dance over: the origins of his ASSASSIN.

Let us remember Robert Kennedy, and put the WHINER BROTHERS out of our memories.

P. S. This comes from UNITED ARTISTS, the same studio that gave us the de-mented DE-LOVELY. At least this one doesn't have any tunes -- we think.
