Kidman plays Isabel, who begins the film as a breathy kewpie doll (Kidman must have watched ``The Seven-Year Itch'' for inspiration), a naive witch who comes to the San Fernando Valley wanting only to be normal and to find a man who needs her for herself and not her otherworldly powers. But there were also plenty of oddities -- a skittering angel who might have escaped from Balanchine's Nutcracker; a dynamic, mambo-dancing Kewpie doll wearing a shift with the rising sun; a bodysuited dream girl; a pair of mad, aerobic Pierrots; music by Chopin; a bang-up tango finale. Millie's new best friend and fellow tenant at the Hotel Priscilla is a refined Kewpie doll from California, Miss Dorothy Brown (Diana Kaarina). |
