...rock-and-roll night club, and they watch some obviously rehearsed and ludicrous Italian jitterbugging. After a few painful moments, they join in. From here on until they leave the club, movement and light, words and action all merge together. When the music slows, pairs of faces pressed cheek-to-cheek fill the screen and revolve about each other. A baroque schema out of Rubens, which is attractive and dramatic in itself, also happens to be a very fine image for a crowded dance floor. If Visconti has learned by now to combine his talents consistently in this...
...after day, the small, drab figure in the dark suit hunched forward in the front row of the gallery listening tensely. Sometimes he tapped his fingers nervously against his cheek; occasionally he nodded his head rhythmically in time with the music. In the whole of his productive career, remarked Soviet Composer Dmitry Shostakovich, he had "never heard so many of my works performed in so short a period."

...think this of Carlye, but his embassy boss, Franklyn Armbruster (Fred Astaire), insists that he snoop on his notorious landlady. When Bill overhears Carlye phone for two men to carry out something that weighs 160 lbs., he gets rather queasy about the evening cookout. He sloshes his Scotch from cheek to cheek like a chipmunk hoarding for a famine and finally gulps it like a plug of tobacco. His pouring hand is so erratic with the lighter fluid that he practically charcoal-broils the house...
