MANDRAGOLA. In Director Alberto Lattuada's romp through a Renaissance classic, some bold types carry out Machiavellian plots against the virtue of a Florentine beauty (Rosanna Schiaffino...
Aiming for bold, big-screen entertainment, Director Sydney Pollack emphasizes rowdy period flavor and gives his cast leeway for showy performances. The movie as a whole is too bright and vulgar to be dull, but expensive talent has been squandered on every chore except the crucial one of keeping a small, evanescent tragedy in focus...
GUSTAV HOLST: A CHORAL FANTASIA/ PSALM 86 AND GERALD FINZI: DIES NATALIS (Everest). An opportunity to compare two widely diverging paths in modern vocal music.

Unlike his bold and high-living grandfather, Emperor Meiji, who used to select his bed partner by dropping a silk handkerchief in front of a court concubine, Hirohito became a happy family man and refused to take a concubine, even after his Empress gave him four daughters in a row (the fifth child...
