Leading off this week's new releases is Only You ***1/2 (Columbia
Tristar), a delightful and witty romantic comedy about a young woman
(Marisa Tomei) who leaves her fiance and heads to Europe in an effort to
find the man (Robert Downey Jr.) she believes is her predestined husband.
Billy Zane and Fisher Stevens add fine support, but Bonnie Hunt as
Tomei's sister-in-law almost steals the film from the leads. Only You was
directed by Norman Jewison and is highly enjoyable. (Rated PG)
It certainly looks like the only baseball we'll get this year will be with
the minor leagues or in the movies. The folks at Disney, sensing this
demand, have come up with Angels in the Outfield ** ($22.95 or less) an
overly contrived and sickly sweet family film. The cast includes Danny
Glover, Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd. (Rated PG)
Much less dazzling in the special effects department is the original
version of Angels in the Outfield *** (MGM/UA - $14.95) from 1951.
Despite being labeled with those now dreaded words, "filmed in black and
white" this version has a better script, more charm and the performances
by Paul Douglas and Keenan Wynn are superior to any in the newer film.
(Unrated)
Among the other new and unpreviewed releases you will find The
Specialist (Warner), another high octane blow 'em-up starring Sylvester
Stallone and one of the movie's most overrated actresses Sharon Stone.
(Rated R, of course)
James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams and Courtney Vance star in Percy
and Thunder, (Turner) a boxing thriller about a retired trainer who
discovers a possible contender for the heavyweight championship.
(Unrated - originally made for television)
In Arizona Dream (Warner) Johnny Depp plays a young drifter whose
life is altered by a sexy older woman. Also in the cast are Faye Dunaway
and Jerry Lewis. (Rated R)
The following three documentaries might also be of interest to many of
you. The four volume History of Comics (CHV) chronicles the art of
cartoon from the beginning of the century to today. Each volume runs 90
minutes and sells for $29.95.
With so much muck raking tabloid trash passing for entertainment these
days I approached Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie **** (CHV) with some
trepidation. Much to my happy surprise Lucy & Desi is a marvelous and
intimate look at the private lives of two of television's biggest stars. Their
story is told through never- before- seen home movies, photos and
interviews with family and friends. Highly Recommended!
Just when you thought you had heard everything you ever wanted to
know about Elvis Presley along comes, Why Elvis (CHV) a program
compiled from nearly 100 interviews from devoted fans, writers, scholars
and other observers. ($29.95)

grader. The township had bought
the grader last year in the hopes of
receiving supplementary funding,
which did not come through.
"Rather than transfer the entire
amount, which would have given
us a surplus of over $30,000, coun-
cil voted to transfer just enough to
end the year in the black and leave
more in reserves," she explained.
Mr. McLellan also noted some
personal feelings with regards to
his office, which have frustrated
him. "I don't feel that I have the
support of my entire council and
can't_ work as reeve when I feel I'm
being undermined. I'm just fighting
a losine battle."
