...which invests the possessor of rock crystals with divine power. Waldo and Arthur may also be seen as living out some version of the Greek myth of Tiresias. White finally is content with nothing less than to present some enactment of the central mysteries of Christianity. Arthur is "hermaphroditic Adam," father-and mother-of mankind, also divine child, also martyred divinity. In these terms, Mandala becomes not a dense literary puzzle but an obscenity. Arthur, the shaman of Sarsaparilla, is too monstrous to think upon: quack religion and genuine psychopathology are mixed up. White has written a mystery play...
...Producer William Dozier, 57, who in more golden times was associated with Studio One, Playhouse 90 and You Are There.

...thirty minutes went much too fast. It started with the narrator's "put your gum under your seats," zipped through a catchy theme, and within minutes, the Caped Crusader and Robin the Boy Wonder were risking their dedicated lives in a effort to rid Gotham City of crime. Adam West stars at Batman; even lacking a size 48 chest, his portrayal is excellent. Batman's young ward is played by Burt Ward, who is everything we remember from drugstore newsstand days...
