...Cast as a director remarkably like Italian Director Federico Fellini (who in fact directed the film), Marcello Mastroianni cannot seem to get started on a new movie project. The Fellini-Mastroianni stream of consciousness lays bare the director's inner confusions and frustra tions, includes dreams, snatches of vaudeville, a little sex and a lot of religion. The total effect is surprisingly coherent and entertaining...
...music's finest old traditions is that young conductors must make their debuts only when calamity strikes the maestro and leaves the podium bare. Last week at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam, Viennese Actress Paula Wessely had a nervous breakdown and Russian Cellist David Rostropovich had a heart attack, setting the emotional stage for the illness of Conductor Paul Sacher, scheduled to lead the Dutch Chamber Orchestra. Aging Conductor Pierre Monteux, 88, promptly appeared on the scene with his protégé in his pocket. "My pupil," said Monteux, "he's great. He reminds...
...presidential ban on political rallies during a general strike, and staged an exciting prison break, attempting to swim to an escape boat. The break failed (he swam to the wrong boat), but Peruvians thrilled to the story.

At that point, the military stepped in to settle the issue...
...sings from a stage bare of any decoration but the evening's credo, Für Weill, written in chalk against a black wall. With an excellent Weillian pianist named Abe Stokman to accompany her, she approaches each of Weill's many moods, relying only on her powerful gift for expression to keep the chameleonic program together. Will Holt, a showman who shares the stage, does his bit in the wicked-wise style common to Weill-Brecht productions, but Schlamme's dulcet performance enriches the irony Weill's Berlin songs depend upon. Her voice never sugars...
...many Protestants, the Jesus of the Marburgers will seem rather dim and unfamiliar. For example, they reject the childhood narratives in Luke as fictitious and myth-laden, deny the accuracy of any of the Evangelists' chronologies. Of the detailed Passion narratives, they accept as historically sound the bare facts that Jesus went to Jerusalem at the end of his ministry, supped with his disciples sometime toward Passover, stood trial before Pilate and was crucified. Bultmann's disciples also reject, as a creation of the post-Easter church, any saying of Jesus that refers to his filial relation...
