CORRUPT is the name of the Harvey Keitel/ John Lydon movie about an S&M relationship between a cop & cop-killer. By the way, I saw George Cukor's THE WOMEN last night: featuring nearly everyone it seemed in MGM's "stable" of actresses from Joan Crawford to Marjory ("Ma Kettle") Main, it was an Encyclopedia of Dish, very fast & funny (the sexist convictions in the story were obnoxious but ridiculous: the audience booed &/or groaned appro- priately, but it was offset somewhat by robust ridicule of male foibles). Villain Joan Crawford's parting line at the end was "There's a word for girls like you, but it isn't used in polite society outside of kennels!" WOMEN played with MADCHEN IN UNIFORM which was delightful, even though the theater showed the "censored" version; the audio was often difficult to follow. But considering the movie had to be smuggled out of Nazi Germany, it's amazing it still exists. Ron Rizzo
