Our penultimate Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode brings us Lilli as a protagonist again at last, in Lotte in Weimar\xa0(1975), based on the Thomas Mann novel, and\xa0Lilli Lite in\xa0The Boys from Brazil\xa0(1978), an outrageous\xa0anti-Nazi sci fi story in which Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck wage an epic battle (and also get into a very brutal girl-fight). And this week's Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto is a real smorgasbord:\xa0Saturday Night Fever,\xa0Coffy,\xa0It Happened One Night, and\xa0Beverly Hills Cop. From the charm of young John Travolta to screwball brutality and from exploitation auteurism to... the charm of young Eddie Murphy. We've got the movie talk you crave!
