Ellis Rabb's loyal counsellor Camillo, Richard Waring's King Polixenes, and Earle Hyman's rogue Autolycus are all superlative portrayals. These three actors are the finest classical speakers in the company, and they all are ever careful about how they use their bodies. Autolycus, an ingratiatingly light-fingered jack-of-no-trades, is a wonderful creation without a counterpart elsewhere in literature. And Hyman, in and out of disguise as well as in and out of other people's pockets, makes the most of him, with his funny figure-4 stances, his weatherbeaten hat and purple beard...
...Vatican, where he can find his way through the maze of corridors and rumors as well as most cardinals.

Mothers sewed on fancy-dress costumes for the procession of the Eucharist through the streets, while their husbands wielded paintbrush and hammer on the decorations. And lilting in every heart in the village was the thought of the wining, dining and dancing that...
Consternation spread through the village, and soon afterward the news was all over Italy. Quivering with rage, Italy's chief Communist organ L'Unita reprinted the village priest's proclamation under the sneering three-column headline, CHRIST UNDER ARREST, and accused Don Camillo of making Jesus his "private property" and of treating "Corpus Christi like a batch of spaghetti payable in return for the Christian Democrats' vote." Against these fulminations, Don Camillo found himself supported and praised by the Vatican's newspaper Osservatore Romano. Don Camillo, it said, correctly "deemed it improper that solemn homage...
