Personal Quote:
[from her review of
High Anxiety (1977)] "High Anxiety" is dedicated to
Alfred Hitchcock as "the master of suspense", and it doesn't have a whisper of suspense. It doesn't operate on any level except that of bumbling slapstick farce, where most of the custard pies miss their targets.

Trivia:
Kael gave an isolated positive review to
Jessica Lange's much-maligned debut performance in
King Kong (1976), writing that Lange's screen presence reminded her of
Carole Lombard. She also singled out
Morgan Freeman's early performance in
Brubaker (1980) as the highlight of the movie. Both Lange and Freeman went on to become highly respected Oscar-winning actors.
