Since civilizing children takes the better part of two decades--some twenty years of nonstop thinking, nurturing, teaching, coaxin...g, rewarding, forgiving, warning, punishing, sympathizing, apologizing, reminding, and repeating, not to mention deciding what to do when--I now understand that one wrong move is invariably followed by hundreds of opportunities to be wrong again.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Its idea of "production value" is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision... of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
