...Another reason is that it is stupidly directed. Every bone of the play's framework?skeleton that should be smoothed and hidden away under the flesh of character and detail?is carefully stressed in the important scenes in which Anna and her father and her lover are before the camera at the same time; the two men face each other at a table and Anna sits or stands between them, stressing the triangle; when Old Man Christie vents his periodic curse on the Ole Davil Sea he usually goes and looks out at the sea, and shakes his fist...
...Plan is ingenious, effective. Three parallel streams of action run through the book, appear in turn, like plaits in a braid:1) Newsreel, 2) The Camera's Eye, 3) the story of one of the five main characters.
