The invalid members of Club Desvelado benefited from a run to Vulcan Video and sat through a triple feature: Showtime, Changing Lanes, and Hollywood Ending. Pedro Damian, the villain in Showtime, it's surprising to learn, directed the novelas Amor gitano, Preciosa, and Mi pequena traviesa among many others. Showtime may have gone straight to video--it certainly deserved to, wasting a good cast as it did. Changing Lanes was better than expected, though a little heavy on the faustian and redemption bits, to say the least! Tea Leoni, Treat Williams, and whoever played the agent were redeeming features of the Woody Allen feature. It would have been a shame to pay full fare for any of these on the big screen. The riddled bathtub on the floor above was a plus in Showtime.
