...scene is over-written, as is the entire picture. There are too many scenes of boudoir and barnyard love. The character of Angelo is quite unbelievable. He is presented as the kind, gentle, fun-loving peasant, a sort of Italian Burt Lancaster...
...taking a nostalgic second look at some of their earlier artists. Among the more impressive results: the Jazztone Society's ten-disk collection, Styles of Jazz, including that original recording of Livery Stable Blues, a fast and vastly exuberant piece in a weak-and-strong two-beat, with barnyard sounds reproduced by cornet, clarinet and trombone. From there, the album ranges over various jazz styles-blues, swing, cool-and reaches a high point with Fats Waller's full-chorded, stomping piano playing and lowdown comic singing. Decca's four-record Encyclopedia of Jazz covers much the same...
...Barnyard. The Soviet embassy was a true enclave-an island of cruel and clownish Soviet life. The best part of the Petrovs' book describes in detail the life of the higher Soviet bureaucracy: by a paradox, the egalitarian theory of Communism has produced a pathologically heightened sense of status-so that life in the embassy went on by rules something like the pecking hierarchy observed by barnyard fowl. Mrs. Petrov got into hot water for having put a comic picture within eyeshot of Stalin's portrait, and even hotter water when she was falsely accused of having thrown...
...Manhattan sightseer, New Hampshire's earthy Novelist Grace Metalious, 32, whose sex-gorged Peyton Place (TIME, Sept. 24) has stood No. 1 on the nation's bestseller lists for almost two months, counterattacked censors and all who would ban her barnyard portrayal of a rampageous U.S. hamlet. Cried plumpish Authoress Metalious, mother of three: "I know about small towns. A rock in a field may look firm, but kick it over and you'll find all kinds of things crawling underneath. Too much sex? How can you write a novel about normal men and women, let alone...
...tall (a statistical two centimeters taller than their elders), tempestuous and troubled. Like the pale young Parisians maundering in existentialism when the tide of war ebbed from the Left Bank, like the Teddy Boys of postwar London posturing on street corners in their shabby pseudo-Edwardian finery like pathetic barnyard roosters, like the slack-jawed worshipers of Elvis Presley and their spiritual ancestors in the U.S., the hootch-swilling hellions of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1920s, the truants of Japan have no place to run but away. Soon after the war, their restlessness was marked by a sharp spurt...
