Review/Film; A New York Comedy With Heart and Barbs
1994
In directing his first feature, \"Naked in New York,\" about how hard it is to be an aspiring young playwright, Dan Algrant manages to make film making look wonderfully easy. Mr. Algrant's agile, self-deprecating wit and his flair for ensemble comedy make \"Naked in New York\" as knowing and clever as it is charming. Although the film maker is a protege of Martin Scorsese (Mr. Scorsese served as executive producer), his dry, offbeat style recalls someone else. \"Naked in New York\" is descended, in the most funny and refreshing way, from \"Annie Hall.\" \"Naked in New York\" is loosely narrated by [R. Jake Briggs], whose memories have a suitably antic quality; he can recall himself as a baby, on the lazy susan at a table in a Chinese restaurant, on the day his parents split up. Later, Jake recalls living in Cambridge, Mass., across the street from a nut factory (\"driving the local squirrels mad from the constant roasting\"), and falling in love with [Joanne White]. At the same time, he makes his first stab at playwriting with a short piece about a homicidal lumberjack. A teacher (Roscoe Lee Browne) praises his craftsmanship, but adds: \"On a personal level, I think you might want to go talk with someone in health services.\" \"Naked in New York\" deftly divides its attention between Joanne's new life in the art world and Jake's New York theater experiences. (The details are often exactly right; Joanne's favorite photographer isn't Cartier-Bresson, it's Mary Ellen Mark.) In Manhattan, Mr. Algrant has found a particularly fertile setting for his film's brand of urbane humor. His Manhattan fixtures include Tony Curtis, letter-perfect in the role of a lovably crass off-Broadway producer, and Kathleen Turner as a leonine soap opera star who yearns alarmingly for more stage experience. \"She makes the boat float, don't you understand that?\" asks Mr. Curtis, as he insists on miscasting her in Jake's precious play.

Gifts stuffed with comfort and joy
ASHBURNHAM - Trooper Leonard Crossman chuckled as he pointed to the display case in the lobby of John R. Briggs Elementary School. It was crammed with stuffed animals. \"That's my cruiser,\" he said to State Police Sgt. Gene Jackson, who was taking pictures. Students designed and built a cardboard police cruiser to hold the stuffed animals. Crossman serves as Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer for the school. He, Jackson, State Police Lt. Robert Murphy and Trooper Johanna Lawlor were at the school yesterday to collect 301 new or slightly used stuffed animals donated by students. The officers will hand out the toys to comfort children at accident scenes.
