...that I am very pleased with the review of the Casals film would be putting it mildly. I suddenly realize that the "source" of this film-river was TIME, Jan. 30, 1950, which carried not only a glowing review of The Titan under CINEMA, but also a brilliant account in the Music section called "The Exile of Prades." This piece ended with a quote from Casals, ". . .someone must remember," and I was made to remember. I quickly wrote a treatment for a documentary feature film on Casals, but it never came off.

...matter of fact, Kathleen Winsor need never have written another line, but she seems to suffer from a continuing compulsion to act like an author. After Amber, she took a whack at fictionalized autobiography (Star Money) and fantasy (The Lovers), and flubbed both. Her latest offering, a raffish account of a smalltown childhood, sounds like a Booth Tarkington novel as retold by Erskine Caldwell. In the Winsor world, the war between the sexes starts early, and the casualty lists are stupendous. One of the combatants is Ruby, who at 16 already has "a rather sagging and accessible look...
