...note, however falsetto, of meadowy romp and dooryard homeliness. But the demand of the giant screen is for size and spectacle. The figure of Laurie, far away and touching as she sings Out of My Dreams ("and into your arms"), becomes on the screen a colossal closeup in which the heroine's left nostril alone is large enough to park a jeep in. The dances, too, come far too close for comfort. Though Agnes de Mille revised them for the camera, they now seem more like sophomore scrimmages than witty asides, and look as if they have been...
...much a pleasure to see as it is to hear. Hardly a single routine shot of rolling countrysides deaden the 20 minutes running time. Morgan and his associate Richard Harris have concentrated on details: a few chickens shaking the water of a rainstorm form their feathers, the closeup of a ringing church bell, a frog in a pond.

The surgeon reached into the hole, drew out a lump, cut it off with four snips of a pair of surgical scissors. The two-inch lump was placed in a pneumatic tube, and 45 seconds later it had traveled 2,000 feet to the laboratory. There before another camera, a pathologist examined it under a microscope, ticking off the tumor's characteristics in a matter-of-fact tone. At this point the tension was fever high...
