Time Out MAGAZINE April 26 May 3 1989 No 975

Freddy Krueger on nightmares; Nik Cohn on the bottle; Dolores French on being a prostitute.
AN ISLAND RACE
The Isle Of Dogs, traditionally a bastion of the white working-class, has been assailed on all sides by new money. Now Islanders, perceiving a new threat, have circulated a racist petition against Asian newcomers, and the Commission for Racial Equality is determined to prosecute. Sarah Baxter reports.
- OF INHUMAN BONDAGE
For 'Licence To Kill', the biggest Bond movie ever, Timothy Dalton prepares as he would for Shakespeare, and even the baddy talks of 'existential nihilism'. After 15 films, Simon Banner asks, is 007 finally growing up, or have the horrendous conditions in Mexico left their brains shaken not stirred?
Queen'S COUNSEL
Four years ago, Harvey Fierstein blazed through Broadway and the West End with his 'Torch Song Trilogy' a four-hour theatrical epic of the loves lost and won of a Jewish drag Queen with a rabbit fetish who wants to adopt a child. Now it's a movie, opening next week, and Tim Clark wonders how the masses will cope.
SHARP IN KLINE
After winning an Oscar for mad Otto in 'A Fish Called Wanda', and with 'The January Man' opening here next week, Kevin Kline has finally cracked Hollywood. But Simon Banner finds it was not ever thus: though Shakespeare and Chekhov are his bosom buddies, he had to stab himself in the foot to get noticed.
GOODNESS! GRACIOUS!
Dennis Quaid, besides proving himself one of Hollywood's hottest properties in films like 'The Big Easy', 'The Right Stuff and 'Breaking Away', is also a closet rocker with his own band. Nick Coleman examines his fitness to play Jerry Lee Lewis in the upcoming biopic 'Great Balls Of Fire'.
TRUE WEST
In such films as Missing', Constantin Costa-Gavras documented America's pernicious influence abroad; now he exposes its deep-seated, home-grown racism in Betrayed', starring Debra Winger. Geoff Andrew finds it's provocative but also perversely hailed by the redneck faction.
