1. in connection with an ETA Hoffman celebration, a friend is looking for films that relate both the hoffman's work and to some aspect of dance . . . are there any such films other than in the work of powell and pressburger? . . . and does anyone know of any critical work on the connection or interpenetration or influence of hoffman, dance, and cinema? 2. much closer to home: a while back [almost certainly at some time during the past year] the new yorker ran a brief overview of the work and reputation of nicholas ray . . . i've gone through lots of back issues without coming upon the one that has this piece in it . . . does anyone off hand remember when it appeared? thanks much mike ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
