...best U.S. motion picture of 1962 (TIME, Dec. 28) was created by a writer and director who had never made a film before. One of its principals had never acted in a movie. Even the cameraman had shot nothing more lofty than a TV commercial...
...about $40.000 in prizes each year, with extra dollops like $10,000 for a hole-in-one (none so far) and $500 for an eagle (22).

As he sees them, the gorgeous shore-scapes of the Inland Sea, like all worlds in the Oriental sense of things, dissolve and reel away into visionary vastness, into the pure space of pure spirit...
