...Clift) begins to study them, are scorned by neurologists as silly women who act up to get attention, suffer at worst from a "wandering womb." Freud doubts the diagnosis, suggests that hysteria proves the existence of unconscious thoughts. Most of his colleagues laugh in his face, but Dr. Josef Breuer (Larry Parks) describes a hysteric named Cecily (Susannah York) who relieved a symptom simply by talking about what caused it. Freud takes over the case. And so begins a vastly exciting drama of detection, in which the audience simultaneously sees a lurid mystery unfold and a momentous theory develop. Following...
With the Times. As far as piety permits, U.S. monks have kept well up with the times, hired the best of U.S. architects (Philip Johnson at St. Anselm's, Marcel Breuer at St. John's) to design new churches and cloisters.

Despite all this, Corbu was in fact entering the richest phase of his career. Plans that had been locked in his mind for years began tumbling out like coins from a treasure chest. Now came the Marseille apartment block of raw concrete (béton brut), on which the marks of the form boards were left visible. The Society for the Preservation...
...Freud's eyes. Hence not Freud but Elizabeth is the dramatic center of Acts I and III. In Act II what properly but disruptively takes over is Freud's own career, including his relations with his once daring, now success-loving senior colleague, the brilliant Dr. Joseph Breuer (well played by Sam Wanamaker). Once the case history runs away with the play, it proves awkward for the play to run away from the history...
