...coming week will bring three heavy-duty openings. Little Godfather A1 Pacino comes to the Loeb as Richard III. Pacino, who played in the Basic Training of Pavle Hummel downtown last spring, has a terrific stage presence that will soon become justifiably renowned. Stephen Sondheim and Hal Prince do Bergman in A Little Night Music, a new musical comedy. Previews start Saturday: Vogue Magazine predicts. "It's a winner." No, No Nanette is also in town. Since this dreary musical spectacle originally glorified New York and Atlantic City back in 1925 it's been straight downhill. The coincidence is striking...
...Wilson, as Sam, plays a little something of his own-Rick's smoky Club:Americain where Claude Rains wins at roulete, where Bergnan's arrival earns Sam's state-Peter Lorre's escape, Sydney Greenstreet and the Blue escape, Sydney Greenstreet and the Blue Parrot.

Perhaps it is because "ever since my childhood I have pictured the inside of the soul as a moist membrane in shades of red." Both Hedda Gabler and this film share, too, a careful choreography of movement, with...
...Part of Bergman's genius has always been his awesome skill with actors. No one is quite so successful in stripping them of all artifice and cutting in so close to their very being.
