...movie that is neither firm nor fully packed. Laid in North Carolina in the 18905, and based on Foster Fitz-Simons' historical novel, it leans heavily on such standbys as the rakehell hero (Gary Cooper), the bosomy belle of the Old South (Patricia Neal) and the brazen hussy (Lauren Bacall), who is presented as the madam of what is delicately described as a "boardinghouse for ladies...

They railed against the brazen dissonances in his huge, Wagnerian tone poems (Don Quixote, Thus Spake Zarathustra, Death and Transfiguration, etc.), the savage horrors of his operas Salome and Elektra, his general lack of taste in composition. But no one could overlook his genius: his unique gifts as an orchestrator, his penetrating power for illuminating character and for describing anything from the zany antics of Don Quixote to the bestiality...
