...wardrobe he bade Motley create is motley indeed. Orlando spends his time in overalls (who ever heard of a fairy-tale hero's heading for the altar in overalls?). His brother Oliver wears riding habit, carries cigars, and flourishes a cigarette lighter. The usurping Duke Frederick is decked out entirely in white, except for a diplomat's baldric-like red sash, and, with his beard, is a double for Peter Ustinov.

These towering windows, 70 feet high and eight feet wide, were created by three Britons who have led a dramatic revival of the ancient art of making stained glass: Lawrence Lee, Geoffrey Clarke and Keith New. Behind the high altar will hang British Painter Graham Sutherland's dark green and red tapestry, Christ in Glory, 74 ft. high and 40 ft. across.
