Industry Reviews
"...The role of Earl Long is tailor-made for [Newman]....Big, blustery and for the most part very lively..."
Maslin
"...Lolita Davidovich is luscious and endearing all at once....BLAZE is hugely enjoyable, with fluid, sensual camera work..."
Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson (12/13/1989)
