Also excellent is Nancy Abrams' rendering of the Bad Angel. Sinuously tempting and later sneering with triumph, Abrams is so much more convincing that her heavenly counterpart that it's easy to figure out why this Faustus opts for hell. Jenny Marre is enticing in several cameo roles--she plays everyone from Belzebub to a lisping, pregnant duchess--but she's a bit too pudgy as Helen of Troy...
...major directors capable of dealing with important issues on a grand scale must be disappointed. The film bypasses all the historical and social issues of the period in which it ostensibly takes place. The eighteenth century functions as a backdrop and no more. George III puts in a cameo appearance and speaks one line to Barry. That is all. The brief battle scenes at the beginning are nothing compared to Kubrick's early Paths of Glory. Even the legal issues of the inheritance, which every Victorian novelist took seriously, are never explained. One reason it is difficult to judge Bullingdon...

Ann-Margret added that she had picked up at least one extravagant souvenir during her travels-a mink coat for Husband-Manager...
...John's Church, where the Fords often worship, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony opening a Christmas bazaar. When a clown on hand for the occasion broke into a dance, Mrs. Ford, a former student of Martha Graham, spontaneously joined in. A few days later she taped a cameo appearance for a forthcoming Mary Tyler Moore show. The same day she helped launch a Braniff airplane painted with a Bicentennial design by Alexander Calder. At home, she brings in Liberty's puppies for guests to cuddle in the family living room, where the Fords do their personal entertaining...
