EDITORIAL REVIEW:
From Hollywood B-movies to Hollywood classics, *A Night at the Movies* invents what might have happened in these Saturday afternoon matinees. Mad scientists, vampires, cowboys, dance-men, Chaplin, and Bogart, all flit across Robert Coover's riotously funny screen, doing things and uttering lines that are as shocking to them as they are funny to the reader.
