They're good together, per-try because the screenplay by Jeffrey Price, Pe- ter s. Seaman and Daniel Pyne doesn‘t give them sappy things to say; they had reasonable conver- sations from which, eventually, romance Nossoms. while Fox and Warner dance to Patsy Cline's "Crazy," all of the people drop out of the back- ground and onry the bright lights remain NEW IN TOWN?
