Turner also criticized Green's report for failing to consider the broad social and economic implications of the ac-tions it recommends, such as the breakup of the auto industry. "Disagreements on these cases were very real-they were not simply political. I don't know of one single antitrust case which was dropped for what I would call venal political reasons," Turner said...

Tomas and Ingrid are in fact transparent-totally familiar and predictable-while the Bauers remain opaque-totally incomprehensible. And the director has tricked usinto assuming we came to a psychological character study of four "complex individuals." This is very subversive. There are so many familiar patterns, so many familiar images to assure us we're in Bergman Country-all of which remain...
