With that end in mind, Guccione chose Italian Tinto Brass to direct his movie. Virtually unknown even in Italy, despite ten pictures to his credit, Brass had won Guccione's admiration with his last film, Salon Kitty, a spy thriller set in a Nazi brothel. Brass, a Falstaffian figure with a temper as big as his waistline, soon decided that Vidal's script was too bourgeois for his taste. "It was the work of an aging arteriosclerotic," he says. "Vidal redid it five times, but it was still absurd." With the help of McDowell, Brass rewrote the screenplay...
...reason is Texas Monthly's mix: a skilled blend of solid investigative articles, statewide consumer guides to shopping and shows, the clever graphics of Art Director Sybil Newman Broyles and paeans to such Texas institutions as cowboy boots, wildcat oil drillers, chicken fried steaks and the brothel "that slept more politicians than the Driskill Hotel and the Governor's mansion combined." In fact, keeping citified Texans in touch with their frontier heritage is one of TM's top missions. Says Editor William Broyles, 31: "Our goal is to locate, and glory in, the rough edges of Texas...

But to anyone who is already conversant with the bottom-line tenets of women's liberation--that women's labor is exploited in the household, the brothel, and the working professions--the litany of oppression will be so familiar as to seem almost soothing, and at the same time politically unsatisfying. When all the talk is over, is it enough to conclude--as this film does--that what's needed is for women to "get together...
...main difference between Fauvism and expressionism. Every where one turns in this show, pleasure is celebrated: the tricolores and red, white and blue parasols in Raoul Dufy's street scenes, the rosy theatrical vigor of Van Dongen's scene of a couple out side a brothel. The Hussar (Liverpool Night House), 1906, the slapdash but infectious ebullience of Vlaminck's still lifes. The best sight of all, though, is Matisse inventing the Mediterranean; it is amazing to find how deeply one's images of that coast have been marked by Matisse's agaves and olives...
