Plucky Maryann
Singleton uncovers a cannibal cult operating in the rafters of Grace
Cathedral in More Tales of the City. Sequel to the incomparable
Tales
of the City was filmed mostly in Canada which helped make it a less
than worthy follow up. Several recasts including Nina Siemaszko in the
Chloe Webb role, Mona Ramsey, also killed it for a lot of people. Even
the San Francisco skyline is ersatz here - that's Oakland
in the "Superman building" voyeur scenes! The real-life structure that
inspired the Superman building is 1101
Green Street. A sort of fraternity game evolved among San Franciscans
from this entry in the series. Friends gather to watch the entire four-hour
series on tape in an afternoon. Every time Olympic Dukakis smokes pot,
the viewers smoke pot. Daphne von Kool, a die hard from Noe Valley, swears
it's hard to keep up with Mrs. Madrigal. Directed by Pierre Gang for a
1998 premiere broadcast on Showime. Further
tales follow.
