TODAY ‘Where the Heart Roams’ U.S.A., 1987, 81 minutes , 5:30 p.m . George Csicsery’s delightful documentary on romance writers and their readers. It’s a charmer because Csicsery neither patronizes nor ridicules his subjects (including the bejeweled Barbara Cartland--the genre’s octogenarian grand dame), who are largely articulate, middle-class, middle-aged women. We see this vast and lucrative phenomenon as a commentary on what is missing from their lives.
