Editorial Review:

Description:
'the ultimate movie about the New York cult of class (Glamour), this rich and challenging cinematic treat (Playboy) is both a laugh-out-loud comedy and a biting social commentary about the separation between the 'haves and the 'have-nots. Will Smith gives a mightily impressive debut, Donald Sutherland is perfection and OscarÂ(r)-nominated* Stockard Channing moves from brilliance to somewhere above and beyond brilliance (CBS-TV) in a story that's all the more amazing because it's true! Posing as the son of Sidney Poitier, Paul (Smith) deftly penetrates the world of art-dealing urbanites Ouisa and Flan Kittredge (Channing and Sutherland). But as Paul's web of dropped names and near fame begins to unravel, he provides his hosts with much more than just theultimate cocktail party anecdotehe sets in motion a series of events that will alter the course of their lives forever. *1993: Actress

Amazon.com essential video:
John Guare's hit Broadway play--about an Upper East Side couple who gets bilked by a young black man claiming to be Sidney Poitier's son--receives a terrific screen translation in this film by Fred Schepisi. Though the play was discursive and episodic, Schepisi, working from Guare's adaptation, makes it all flow like a fascinating evening listening to friends recount something that happened to them. But the story itself is also intriguing for the disparity it reveals between the wealthy, the would-be wealthy, and the have-nots yearning to be rich. Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland are exceptional as the couple who open their home to a young man they believe is a friend of their children (to whom they barely speak); Will Smith is fascinatingly glib as the young man, who claims that his famous father is casting a film version of Cats and offers his hosts roles as extras in the film. Smith finds the heartbreaking core of this character and Channing is haunting as a woman looking to make a connection, even with a confused young con artist. --Marshall Fine

- A Movie for the Chattering Classes.....
After watching this movie for about 10 minutes, it was obvious this was first a Broadway play in Manhattan. The characters are chatterers who constantly, in their stream of consciousness manner, spout off their musings. Any momentary opportunity for a gap of silence is filled in with non-stop babble.

To be fair, the movie is witty and intelligent in places. But for the most part, people don't converse in this way. The performances and the actors ( obviously ) are top notch. Just a bit unrealistic and not my cup of tea.

- AMAZON Scores Again
The DVD was bought for my step-granddaughter, who loves Will Smith anything! That having been said, as always, the performance of Amazon and its "work-withs" has been excellent. Better than I would ask or hope for! That's all I can say, and I have said it from the first time I ordered from AMAZON.COM.

- How far would you go to feel that connection?
I had heard many good things about `Six Degrees of Separation', especially when in regards to Will Smith's performance. Finally, a few nights back, I had the chance to check it out and I must say that Will Smith is not the only reason to watch this fantastic film; in fact there is so much good going here I'm shocked the only recognition the film received was a mere Best Actress nomination for Stockard Channing (who is phenomenal).

The film follows Louisa (Ouisa) and John (Flan) Kittredge as they recount their dealings with con-man Paul, a young African American who claims to be school friends with their children, and son of the famous Sidney Poitier. Paul shows up at their front door claiming to have been mugged. He's bleeding and says that his dear friends, Woody and Tess, told him that their parents were the kindest souls in the world, and so he knew where he needed to go. Ouisa and Flan immediately ...
