"Fun with Dick and Jane - " a nitwit comedy on the order of For Petes Sake, though its much worse made...Ted Kotcheff is the kind of director who thinks ugliness is funny. He really should be locked up for what he does to the performers...everything about it feels cheap."
"Sparkle - " moviegoers have another chance to see Lonette McKee, a young singer-actress so sexy that she lays waste to the movie, which makes the mistake of killing her off in the first half. As often happened in the old movie days, the bad performers are terrific and the good are insufferable."

"Gable and Lombard - " James Brolin doesnt have a dominant personality..He lacks what was the essence of Gables appeal: his cocksure masculinity...As Carole Lombard, Jill Clayburgh is in much worse trouble..Barry Sandler, (the screenwriter) and the director Sidney J. Furie, have turned their heroine into a howling hysteric."
"Robin and Marian - " Connery..is the most natural-looking of heroic figures..And a perfect counterpart to Audrey Hepburn. Hes animal-man at its best; shes an innocent yet passionate sprite...The author James Goldman has a revisionist approach to legends...Connery and Hepburn are a love match. James Goldman and (director) Richard Lester arent.."
"Small Change - " a poetic comedy thats really funny"
"The Killer Elite - " this hallucinatory thriller...Sam Peckinpahs technique here is dazzling."
