The rest of the credit belongs to the director, who uses the camera throughout the first half of the film in a straight-on manner, getting dramatic effects from posing and from motion directly in and out or across the screen. His scenes resemble a series of carefully posed Renaissance paintings, narrating a Biblical story, for he focuses attention not by close-ups or dramatic angles, but by composition, especially in direction of faces from the crowd, suggesting, in those scenes which involve Manolios, that these people somehow need...
...vast expanse of bosom floating before her, says more than a thousand "Will you mammary me" jokes about America's breast-fixation. Mr. Feiffer uses a flexible combination of text and pictures thoroughly intermixed; nobody's else is quite like it, and no quotations simply of words will get across its effect.

But there was the next leg of the journey: scrambling 29 miles across the island's glaciers to reach an east-coast whaling station. They did it in 28 hours. When they tottered into town, the whalers burst into tears at the sight of them...
...seventh, Kasargian doubled to center and raced to third on a wild pitch by Army hurler John Rindfleish. Coach Norm Shepard called for the suicide squeeze, and Harrington laid down a perfect bunt to bring Kasarjian across the plate...
