The film of David Mamet's play, Edmond, about a meek businessman (Macy) who goes
on a sudden, ferocious tear is marred by a lack of motivation for his
worst behavior, but redeemed by witty sordidness and some marvelously
nuanced acting by Macy, Stiles, and Rebecca Pidgeon.
EXTRAS
Commentaries include a laconic one from Mamet: great stretches of
silence interrupted by the writer muttering things like ''Oh, dear'' and
''God, I'm funny sometimes, I must say.'' He also reveals a funny, if
mean, term for a waitress/actress: ''wacktress.''
