Tuesday Talent: Adrian Paul

By -


There's nothing wrong with veering toward those with whom one feels a bit of kinship and with Adrian Paul, Anglo-Italian actor, there is more than one reason to experience the kinship. He may not be gay, but he played one in a TV Film: Tides of War, to be exact.



When Matt Battaglia's name was also seen in the credits of the orginal Here TV production, one's kindred heart beat a little faster. Alas, his character was not the object of Mr. Paul's character's affection.



The movie definitely passes muster in that one gets to see an expression of the kinship one feels, i.e. in the original version not the one available on DVD.





What one needs is Mr. Battaglia and Mr. Paul in more of the same, expressing kinship all over the place and with each other.

Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
