...Crimea, near Yalta. To the tune of Prokofiev's rather overexalted music, and the gentle narration of a voice in English, the plot thickens speedily; servants of the feuding Montagues and Capulets meet and taunt one another into a brawl that fills the square. Soon the entire cast is introduced: Romeo, handsome and brawny; Friend Mercutio, here a playboy with wonderfully impudent toes; Tybalt, an arrogant, bloodthirsty Capulet; the stony senior Capulets and Montagues; and, last and best, Ulanova's Juliet, not quite girlish and a bit plumper about the waist than the American fashion in dancers...
...Sunday things picked up again with a battery of good shows. Camera Three dealt sensitively with the imagist poetry of Dylan Thomas; Omnibus approached the end of its best TV season with a technically superb visit to Harvard University that featured a strong supporting cast of such alumni as Massachusetts' U.S. Senators Leverett Saltonstall and John Kennedy, Johns Hopkins' Vice President Dr. Barry Wood, and Composer Leonard Bernstein.

...hotel chambermaid is warned to expect trouble from the countess, for Lucrezia Sanziani is dotty, penniless and old-a kind of walking Roman ruin. Fresh from Rome's Trastevere slums, Carmela, the young chambermaid, is prepared to quake at the countess' least whim. Instead, she finds herself cast as a confidante of yesteryear in the old lady's wandering mind. Each day, in the afterglow of the Roman twilight, the countess stares deeply into her Florentine silver-gilt hand mirror and conjures up a hallucinated remembrance of loves past...
