Snake van Habanero's Saturday Matinee - 1:00- threeish - Some of us are saintly and some of us are not and so it goes. This week's offering is one of my all time favorites, "A THOUSAND CLOWNS". Pauline Kael found it fatuous but it's the King's biscuit for those of us who relish the savor of eccentricity. Jason Robards does a yeoman's portrayal of an unemployed writer of kiddy-show scripts haphazardly caring for his precocious nephew left in his care by his wayward sister. If you relished the demented lunacy of "Andy's Gang" or the nutzoid cowboy romance of the K-circle-B Show out of Albuquerque back in the fifties, then you'll dig this one. I always enjoy some company.
