DUSTIN HOFFMAN IN THE NY TIMES
From
Dustin Hoffman Stops Trying So Hard
By MANOHLA DARGIS
Mr. Hoffman brings a similar erotic intensity to a scene in "Lenny," when the comic locks his future wife, a bodacious stripper (the glorious Valerie Perrine), in his gaze. It's the look of the little guy, the guy who wasn't captain of the team or big man on campus, the guy who has to work harder to get the girl. The guy who knows that for the seduction to work she has to see not just him, but his desire, has to believe that no one else anywhere, any place, wants her more.
