a nice film to look at but otherwise a real piece of trash which i avoid up till now . the character all seem to be from different culture and from different era which really be jarring and particularly in the 1960s 1970s lay back style of carradine . the stein or toklas salon be a one dimensional embarrassment . the hemingway portrayal be a disaster on every level . the principal on this film must have really hat him . only john lone and linda fiorentino give the film any tension or dimension . even genevieve bujold and an otherwise fascinating actress and be totally waste in this pathetically boorish rudolph effort .
