Poor Emily (Kelly McGillis). Her lack of cooperation with the HUAC leaves her unemployed. And no sooner does she take a new job reading books to an invalid (Jessica Tandy) when she overhears a conversation between the neighbors revealing that one of them is a Nazi war criminal smuggled into the United States by the same creeps perpetrating the blacklist (headed by Mandy Patinkin). Now, if there was an explanation for what exactly our government planned to do with medical-experiment-perpetrating psychos (were we in a psycho-gap race with the Soviets?), I blinked and missed it. Doesn’t really matter, though. With the help of rogue FBI agent Jeff Daniels, our heroine prevails in the end. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
