...could have done it in a tight ninety minutes. Leone spends most of his time focusing on the actors' eyes squinting tensely into the camera lens. The intent is operatic, but the effect is soporific. Stuck in this gluepot horse opera, such veteran range hands as Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale and Keenan Wynn struggle helplessly and often hysterically. But the picture, such as it is, belongs to Charles Bronson. A flinty character actor who has appeared in everything from The Great Escape to The Dirty Dozen, he plays his first important lead with commendable skill. Unfortunately, such an overblown...

It was, of course, Lee Trevino Night at the track...
...would not get past the semifinals that she brought only one dress to Washington. That was her only mistake; at the piano, she was flawless-poised, professional, and in full control of the knuckle-crunching requirements of the Goldbergs.* Second and third prizes were given to Austrian-born Claudia Hoca of Kenmore, N.Y. ($500), and Kiyoka Takeuti of Tokyo...
