Abstract

Television, 1993, October, 04
Cole, Lewis | October 4, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on television programs and documentaries. Clive James' first major foray onto the American screen, "Fame in the Twentieth Century," the eight-hour documentary think-piece that dominated PBS listings over the summer, is a depressing waste of subject and author. Three years in the making, Fame was a collaborative production. Home Box Office telecasts Forest Whitaker's hour-and-a-half movie "Strapped." Whitaker brings to directing the same quiet self-confidence he has demonstrated as an actor (his credits include the British soldier in The Crying Game.)
