Luckily, Griffith Did Not Want a Musical We never thought of PANCHO VILLA in terms of his media savvy. Possessed of a revolutionary zeal and raw masculinity of the sort that we have always found attractive, certainly, but in photo-op terms he was unkempt and portly. Also, how much media could there have been to manipulate in the Mexico of 1914? Apparently, we were wrong..

Movie Doll Hits Broadway Without Breaking a Sweat
The steam of feverish activity is rising from the Ambassador Theater, where that little den of iniquity called Chicago continues its long-running pursuit of illicit pleasure. The chorus is dancing to beat the band, the band is playing to beat the chorus, and performers of all shapes and ages are having a hot time stretching notes and jokes past the vanishing point. But this buzzing hive has a still center: one slightly bruised-looking blonde with stairway-to-heaven legs and a cool air of come-and-get-me composure. Thats the movie star Melanie Griffith, a virgin in the world of live performance, who has taken over the role of Roxie Hart and who sweetly hijacks the show from an army of hard-working Broadway veterans without even breaking a sweat..

Yesterdays Stars Lobby for Writers
In the basement of the Hart Senate Office Building, in the artificial light and clatter of the cafeteria, Fay Wray, 89, was preparing for her next scene. The legendary actress, the luminescent object of King Kongs desire, took out a mirror from her purse. She uncorked her lipstick, Really Red, and swiped her lips. Beaming, she was ready for her close-up with Senator Spence Abraham. Senator Abraham, a Michigan Republican, was thrilled to meet her and a clutch of her Hollywood friends, including Julius Epstein, who wrote Casablanca. They were trouping around Capitol Hill today and on Wednesday to lobby for a change in the copyright laws to give older writers a portion of the payments for replaying their movies..

Hollywood on the Hudson
John Griffith had always planned to tear down the rusted, mildew-green Quonset hut that serves as a garage for his fuel oil company. But that was before he, and his garage, went Hollywood. On a chilly, gray morning this week, Mr. Griffith watched as Paul Newman shuffled across the companys driveway and ducked under the garages big door in a scene for a comedy called Nobodys Fool. The movie, which stars Mr. Newman, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith and Jessica Tandy, has been filming in and around this small Hudson Valley city since mid-November, and little has been the same since.

High-Test Swagger by Burly Buddies
Lee Tamahori, the New Zealand-born director who made such a ferocious first impression with Once Were Warriors, has his thrill thermostat set so high that Melanie Griffith plays his new films most straitlaced character. That character is the sultry wife of a police detective, Max Hoover (Nick Nolte), a vamp who greets her husband with one very hot hello each time he returns from work. Maxs work certainly is grueling, since he is part of the elegantly brutish foursome assigned to keep Los Angeles free of organized crime. This elite rogue unit, nicknamed the Hat Squad for its 1950s sartorial dash (and based on a real police squad of that era), is free to break heads and bend rules. Mulholland Falls takes its title from a sharply dramatic prologue in which one hood is accosted in a swanky restaurant, escorted up to Mulholland Drive and then shoved off a cliff. These guys dont fool around.
Jostling and Stumbling Toward a Fateful 15 Minutes
At the opening of this years New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center tonight, the scene will be one of quintessential, flashbulb-popping New York life in the fast lane -- and some of that may even be off screen. But the main attraction is a look at Manhattans brand of specious fame through Woody Allens not unexpectedly jaundiced eye in Celebrity. Long overdue to open the foremost film event in New York, a city made magical by most of his 27 films, Mr. Allen presents a world in which the V.I.P. status of Joey Buttafuoco (seen fleetingly on a talk show) makes as much sense as anything else. He envisions a barely imaginary television Green Room where the Mafia don and the Klansman talk about the William Morris Agency, and where the rabbis main concern about the skinheads is that theyve eaten all the bagels..

Revisiting a Dangerous Obsession
As a screenwriter, Vladimir Nabokov was a great novelist. Mere traces of his awkward, overlong screenplay for Lolita are evident in Stanley Kubricks 1962 film (bizarre and dated in its own right), but the script survives in published form. In one of his least cinematic touches, Nabokov envisioned an on-camera prologue featuring Dr. John Ray Jr., the tongue-in-cheek character who framed the novel, a psychiatrist purporting to have edited Humbert Humberts memoir about his affair with a 12-year-old nymphet. I have no intention to glorify Humbert, Ray explained. He is horrible, he is abject. He is a shining example of moral leprosy. True, but on screen the speech would have seemed a clumsy attempt to disarm the anti-Lolita camp, then as now a small, literal-minded but vocal group.. Caryn James reviews Adrian Lynes film version of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, presented in uncut version on Showtime television; stars are Jeremy Irons as Humbert Humbert, Melanie Griffith, Frank Langella, and Dominique Swain as Lolita; photo; film has also had brief run in Los Angeles to qualify for Academy Award nominations (M)

Last Exit: Hurtling Down the Road to Ruin
So you two are Bonnie and Clyde, eh? Melanie Griffith asks a pair of druggy young lovebirds in Another Day in Paradise, the second unapologetically seedy feature directed by Larry Clark. So are we. Thats because the one big happy pseudo-family wobbling through this improbably vibrant road movie consists of two middle-aged junkies (Ms. Griffith and a full-throttle James Woods) and two sexy young things (Vincent Kartheiser and Natasha Gregson Wagner), all in the throes of a shared case of the outlaw blues. From the director of the bruising and ominous Kids, this is a virtual day at the beach. And Mr. Clark presents it with the spontaneous lurid zeal that so many other filmmakers work so hard to fake. Trading the assertive grittiness of Kids for a more exuberant visual style, he brings bizarrely innocent enthusiasm to material that would otherwise ooze shock value, and merely shrugs off those parts of this story that would be easiest to exploit. Decadence here is as basic as the weather, and as impervious to criticism or change. Kinda pretty for something so ugly, huh? Ms. Wagners character muses. For Mr. Clarks newly tantalizing directorial style, that says it all.. Janet Maslin reviews movie Another Day in Paradise, directed by Larry Clark; photo of James Woods and Melanie Griffith (M)

Review/Film; Classic Dumb Blonde, With Melanie Griffith
They dont make dumb broads like Billie Dawn anymore, or, if they do, they dont call them that in our sensitized society. This may be one of the reasons why Born Yesterday, based on Garson Kanins classic 1946 Broadway farce, plays so lamely in its glitzy new film version updated to the 1990s. You can take Billie Dawn out of the chorus, but you cant take her out of her own post-World War II time. Its difficult to believe that this Billie Dawn, played by Melanie Griffith, even shares the same planet with Oprah Winfrey and Phil Donahue. If she did, she couldnt be quite as stupid as she must be to make the glorious transformation to wisdom that is the drop-dead heart of the Kanin comedy.

Laying It On Thick
Im Raven, Im a Satanist and Ill be doing your makeup. It is a line no actress wants to hear when facing the mirror. But in Cecil B. DeMented, the latest John Waters comedy, Honey Whitlock, a kidnapped Hollywood starlet, will never be ready for her close-up as long as she looks like Melanie Griffith. No surprise, then, that Ms. Griffith, right, doesnt look like herself for very long in the film, which opens Friday. With her hair bleached beyond blond (Youre going off the deep end of the Clairol color chart, her hairstylist says) and her eyelids painted kohl black, Honey goes from Left Coast banal to the height of terrorist chic. Van Smith, the costume designer, said the film marks a return to the radical makeup he provided for the earlier Waters films Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble..

Lights! Camera! Artillery! This Is All-Out War!
When was it that the films of John Waters stopped seeming so subversive and began feeling like nostalgia-drenched fables of rebellion with a warm and fuzzy tinge? Or is just that the times have changed enough for us to realize that Mr. Waterss movies have always essentially been cheery twisted sitcoms improvised by a goofy extended family in an imaginary suburban attic? Snug in their Saturday afternoon play world, the actors gleefully pluck whatever garish costumes catch their eye from a giant trunk and turn the pop culture wars of the last half-century into sophisticated childrens theater. Watching Mr. Waterss movies, you always have the us-against-them notion of 1950s squares being tweaked by bohemians, hippies and freaks. Or, to look at it differently, the world is divided into grim, gray-faced adults and a liberated minority who refuse to grow up and like nothing better than to expose themselves at the dinner table..
