...only copy of the first issue (in London's Public Record Office) Editor Monaghan carefully copies the writing style (including its heavy use of italics for emphasis) and does his best to get the printers to imitate typography. The first four-page number had its share of antiquarian whimsy (the Publisher regrets "his Inability to satisfy the Complaints of several of the original Subscribers . . . who say that they have not yet received their Copies. . . . The previous Editor . . . did not leave us a complete list of Subscribers"). But Monaghan was more interested in sounding off on such contemporary matters...

One of the prime joys of the picture is the springwater freshness and immediacy of the lines, the lack of antiquarian culture-clogging. Especially as spoken by Olivier, the lines constantly combine the power of prose and the glory of poetry. Photographic per spectives are shallow, as in medieval paint ing. Most depths end in two-dimensional backdrops. Often as not, the brilliant Technicolor is deliberately anti-natural istic. Voice, word...
