Compiled in a truly festive spirit by Richard Smith and James Dean. from page 10 Torch Song Trilogy Harvey Rerstein brings his Tony award ' winning play to the screen. As he did on stage, he plays Arnold Beckoff, a professional drag queen, and Matthew Broderick, who orig inally played Beckoff s adopted son in the Broadway production, now co-stars as his lover. Anne Bancroft completes the trio as Beckoff s Jewish mother in what promises to be one of the more controversial films of the season. Another Woman woody Allen's second drama in a row after the drab "September" stars Gena Rowlands as a college professor who moves in next to a psychologist and becomes involved with one of his clients. This blatant variation on ingmar Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" has received much critical praise, particularly for its cast that includes Gene Hackman, John Houseman, Sandy Dennis and, of course, Mia Farrow. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown This film is already breaking house records in New York theaters. Ifs the latest from young Spanish director Pedro Almodovar, whose past films, "Law of Desire," "Matador" and "what Have I Done to Deserve This?" have made sex and weird ness more enjoyable than ever before. The plot of this one involves a separating couple, a feminist lawyer, an institutional ized estranged wife and another woman who has recently broken off an affair with a Shiite Muslim and is on the run from the police and they are all on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Frankly, how can you go wrong? That's it. There's definitely something there for everyone, so you've got no excuse. We'd just like to end, wishing you and your families many happy hours in and out of the movie theater this Christmas. innnn.nrr u n ft ' rv rtl uu scH.vHZE:Ec:En CIYITO Only their mother cen teSthem L opart.
