...Francis Coppola's trial attorneys in his $80 million case against Warner Bros. (TIME's affiliate), I found your item on the jury's verdict troubling [NOTEBOOK, July 20]. The verdict had nothing to do with Warner's "reneging on a deal to remake Pinocchio." There was never any such "deal." Warner was held liable for intentionally interfering with Mr. Coppola's efforts to make Pinocchio for a different studio (Columbia Pictures).

...young playwright shows the unlikely influence of such left-wing dramatists of the era as Clifford Odets. But he must have sat through quite a few Warner Bros. prison films of the '30s as well. Not About Nightingales is paced like a movie, with short scenes that skip willy-nilly from warden's office to cell block, from mess hall to prison yard. The warden (played with fine, greasy intensity by Corin Redgrave, Vanessa's brother) is a sadistic dictator with no redeeming features. The convicts include a bullet-headed tough guy who organizes a hunger strike (James Black...
