    As a former resident of Los Angeles, I was there when the riots of '92 sparked in the aftermath of the Rodney King trial. I saw Ms. Smith's performance on this PBS special and I want to commend her on a portraying all of the characters in a uniqueness that no one else could ever do. Absolutely outstanding!!

    The resulting compromise does not produce a perfect film, but it is a fine record of a classic production and an important reminder of an event that has not stopped echoing in American culture.

    The camera's closer scrutiny doesn't flatter this unique theatrical reportage.
  3. When it was first performed in theaters a couple of years after the L.A. riots took place, Twilight: Los Angeles must have been very powerful. Unfortunately, director Mark Levin's filmed version lacks that impact.
