Severe Stress. In four cases reported in his book, Psychologic Clues in Forecasting Physical Illness, Dr. Silverman successfully predicted when, after severe, prolonged stress, illness would come and which part of the body would suffer. One successful prediction-of imminent respiratory disease-came after a patient said his girl friend's heavy smoking reminded him of his mother, who died of a chronic respiratory ailment.

Dunaway herself has never seemed fuller or more powerful. A sense of maturity controls her tension, carries off her partial duplicities. John Huston is also surprisingly good--and better directed, I'd guess--in the dirty old rich man's role...
