...last time that Harvard beat Yale in swimming. "Johnny Angel" was the number-one song on the Billboard Top 40. Today in New Haven the Crimson will try to stop that losing streak, but its efforts will almost surely be in vain...
...imagery of the film is as obvious as the plot. When Mark is refused a free sandwich, Antonioni cuts to an oversize billboard advertising sandwich bread. Los Angeles, used as a metaphor for America, is portrayed largely in visual cliches: billboards, TV commercials, neon lights, gun stores, crowded freeways, shabby neighborhoods.

They love mirrors and blazing primary colors. Their art works are random-a bolt of Persian cloth, a chrome lamp, a billboard fragment, a lute. Does all this glitter mean anything more than an egotist's smile? Author Barbara Plumb, editor of the Home section of the New York Times Magazine, chats tersely about each dwelling, but wisely leaves conclusions to the reader...
