It's hard to seriously consider Jill Neal's pictures art. As printed images on coffee cups and greeting cards and wine labels and tote bags they are witty, joyful, delightful, inventive and just a heck of a lot of fun. But serious art they're not. In celebration of International Women's Month B2

To avoid burying the lead, let me say right up front that Harlequin Productions does an unimpeachable job of producing Phillip Barry's 1939 The Philadelphia Story. Billed as a romantic comedy, it's programmed as an obvious enticement to older patrons. That makes my review an unusually difficult one to write. Imagine
