        Just seen?  The film premiered at the Venice Film festival last
year.  Mr. Zaillian was in the audience and Sidney Pollack--producer was
hanging at the bar of the Excelsior.  *Bobby Fisher* was received very
warmly and Zaillian was quite moved.  It was a nice diversion from the
mega stars who were stealing the show.  The Venice Film Festival is on as
we speak, though there's no coverage in the news.  Please, correct me if
I am wrong.  Nothing in the NYT last week, hopefully this week.  I think
this silence is abominable, especially when I think about all the press
that Cannes usually gets.
