"....[W]e are on the set of "The Sun Also Sets", a ludicrous potboiler that has turned star Celeste Turner [? I didn't write down Celeste's last name, only initial] (Sally Field) into a household word and a raging prima donna who requires massive doses of adulation to bolster her shaky ego....

[Ansen writes that one of Kline's scenes "belongs in the movie-farce pantheon."] "....If Kline tends to steal the show whenever he's on, he's give a run for his money by the breathless Field, the deliciously spiteful Moriarty, a drolly slimy Downey, Gar Mar ... [who? why didn't I write it down?] and Whoopi Goldburg ... "Soapdish" is just what any summer season needs--uninhibited lunacy."
