Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson

from Brooklyn, who
goes to London to
interview a movie
director and stum-
bles upon the scoop
of a lifetime.
With the help of
the ghost of recently
deceased, hard-nosed
reporter Joe Stroble
(Ian McShane),
Pransky tries to prove
that wealthy aristo-
crat Peter Lymon (dashingly handsome
Hugh Jackman) is the so-called Tarot
Card serial killer, who has murdered
10 women. Pransky complicates the
sleuthing by falling in love with Lymon,
leading to Allen's exciting ending with
a twist.
Allen, now 70, keeps up a running
monologue of one-liners as Waterman.
In Scoop, among other witticisms,
he says: "I used to be of the Hebrew
persuasion, but I converted to narcis-
sism.”1

Soccer Story

The heightened American interest
in the recent World Cup was built
on the seeds planted by the first
pro soccer league in
North America, which
was established in
1975 and lasted a
decade.
The North American
Soccer League made
the media map when
the late Steve Ross,
Shep Messing
head of Warner
Brothers, decided in 1977 to spend
millions and stock the league's

marquee club, the New York
Cosmos, with the best American
and international players.
The Cosmos are the subject
of the documentary Once in a
Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story
of the New York Cosmos, scheduled
to open Friday, July 28, at the
Landmark Maple Art Theatre.
Cosmos, which has received
great reviews, includes interviews
with mega-soccer fan Henry
Kissinger and Cosmos Jewish
goalie Shep Messing.
. Messing, who looks a lot like
Mark Spitz with his bushy mus-
tache and dark good looks, is now
a commentator for ESPN and is
judged to be not only one of the
finest goalies in the game's history,
but one of the best Jewish athletes
of all time.
