...River excursion liner, and the tall people miss the boat. The couples reunite at the upriver Honeymoon Inn, where the explanations get hot, long and sticky, tempers get short, and the fun gets frantic. Among the funsters is a voice teacher (Travis Hudson) who resembles Margaret Dumont of Marx Bros, film renown...
...lullabies of a John McCormack or the beery ballads of the Clancy Brothers. "No Mother Machree and all that sort of garbage," says Moloney. As can be heard on their new LP, Chieftains 5 (Island Records), or the Barry Lyndon sound-track album (Warner Bros.), the Chieftains' music consists of dances and airs played on tin whistles (surprisingly debonair in sound), bones (animal), the bodhran (a goatskin drum), fiddles, harps, an oboe and, most glorious of all, the Irish bagpipes, more precisely known as the uilleann (elbow) pipes. Unlike Scottish bagpipes, which are breath-blown, the Irish pipes...

When you say something directly, it is simply not as potent as it is when you allow people to discover it for themselves...
...manhood," has a touching, redeeming warmth to it. His downfall, much more dramatically rendered by Kubrick than by Thackeray, has a tragic starkness and a moral correctness. In short, Kubrick has accomplished what amounts to a minor miracle-an uncompromised artistic vision that also puts all of Warner Bros, money "on the screen," as Kubrick says, borrowing an old trade term. He feels he has done right by himself and "done right by the people who gave me the money," presenting them with the best possible chance to make it back with a profit on their investment...
