Maybe David Hare's "Plenty" snouiu nave stayed on Broadway. ! lie movie version lias none of t he quality usually associated with Streep or the psychologically riveting play itself. "Plenty" is plenty inadequate. The two-time Oscar winner stars as Susan Trahcrne, whose days as a I Tench resistance lighter are soon to become memory as the film opens. Adventure and idealism arc Susan's greatest passions, and World War II does not seem large ...ww.-t- r ? i-iiwukm ior ncr romantic notions.

Roommate Alice, nlaved wonderfully by Traccy Ullman, adds laughter and small excitement to Susan's now-quiet life. Charles Dance enters the picture as Susan's future husband, but these new relationships do nothing fo; her. Strcep's character becomes gradually unbalanced as she thrives on the past and shuns her irksome present. It's not that Susan has it so bad. Money, love and friendship come easy for her. The excitement she once thrived on, however, is no longer available. A character played by Sting is chosen to father her child, but mic ultimately rejects him in particularly violent fashion.
