- <p> What would Freud say about a son acting the role of his
- own dad? DESI ARNAZ JR., center, assumes the task, portraying
- his late father in the fall film THE MAMBO KINGS. Arnaz was
- coaxed into the part when 100 other Desi hopefuls didn't cut it.
- The film has Arnaz befriending fledgling mambo kings ARMAND
- ASSANTE and ANTONIO BANDERAS. "Playing my own father was a
- cathartic experience," says Arnaz, 38. "I not only was able to
- capture certain positive feelings I never knew were there
- between us, but I was also able to let go of certain negative
- feelings that have been buried deep within me all these years."
