Ellison's screenplay is brilliant - it manages to take the basic stories of _I, Robot_ and weaves them into a larger mystery, making excellent use of the character of Susan Calvin. You know, in the 2050 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, they'll describe the Fox Executives as "a bunch of mindless twits, and the first up against the wall when the revolution came." Adam C.
