...high-rolling film business, seven of every ten releases are box office flops. Financing is drying up, and most studios have cut back to a handful of new productions a year. What would Hollywood make, then, of a brash little outfit called Hammer Films on a second floor in London's Soho district? Hammer is riding a streak of nearly 100 straight moneymaking movies. Last month it began shooting its tenth new production of 1971. So successful has it become at exporting its wares that it is a winner of the Queen's Award for Industry-a grateful...
Torregrecca (1969), Miss Cornelisen's first book-length portrait of this living past, was a small classic. A documentary written like a novel, it dramatized a cultural collision that set a slightly brash ex-Vassar girl trying to organize nursery centers against a cast of southern Italians as passively resistant as one of their mountain roads.

Nothing could be more remote from the idiom of the theater as temple-massive portico and formidable foyer suggesting, in the manner of Lincoln Center, that the audience is going to be vouchsafed a peek at the altar of some crushing god named High Culture. The Mummers Theater, by contrast, with its simple materials and modest scale, does not try to stimulate...
...near by, a self-service restaurant was turning out $2.25 dinners of shrimp, steak and pie. Members who were not exhausted from a day at the beach or sports could swim in the 50-meter pool, enjoy a sauna, or play pool, darts or table tennis. The architecture is brash, the décor early TWA, the tone matey and the turnover tremendous. The income from the slot machines pays the mortgages and keeps the costs down...
