...Brattle has some preferences, however, which seem strange to its audience--notably an affection for German pictures, for old Cary Grant films, for the early Eisenstein movies, and for period pieces like "Earrings of Madame De" which appeal to a rather specalized taste for the baroque and the leisurely in movie-making...
...collection of prints now at the Fogg Museum, Munch betrays little social consciousness. He dwells instead in the primal world of individual fantasy and frustration which give his art universal appeal.

A solid and comfortable householder type, if no intellectual giant, Ollenhauer pitches his appeal as a safe sort of Socialist both to Germany's middle-class voters and to workers who now have a lot more to lose than their chains...
