...private lounge exuded more homey comfort than overwhelming power. Ford was in his shirtsleeves, filling and fiddling with his pipe. His olive was high and dry on the ice cubes at the bottom of his martini glass. The bulkheads were decorated with an array of David Kennerly's color photos of the Ford children. All that was missing to complete the scene was a cedar log crackling in a fireplace...
...modernity. "The Eiffel Tower is my fruit-dish," Delaunay liked to say, in a dig at cubist still life. From 1909 onward, he painted it at least 30 times: close up or on the skyline, seen from above or below, aggressively sharp or half-dissolved in mists of color, broken, dislocated, twisting upward, a veritable Tower of Babel. No painter had dealt with this emblem of Promethean man before, and it is not surprising that some of Delaunay's images of it-especially the Red Eiffel Tower, 1911-12 (see color)-were tinged with anthropomorphism: a red, two-legged...
THESE BITS and pieces carry the film. As in a dream, even the distorted lapses in time, the changes from black and white to color and the rain falling strangely inside as well as out add to the effect. Still, some loose ends to hang unevenly. What, for example, after her first few appearances, happens to the girl in the blue nightgown?

The materials, fashioned into 106 outfits for Saint Laurent's July 28 showing, bring back blouses with billowing sleeves, bouffant skirts and, yes, soft petticoats, with tight, wasp waistlines defined by cummerbunds, corselets and cinched belts for day and evening wear (see color pages). The clothes are extravagantly ornamented, with braiding, tasseled cords, floral scarves, satin ribbons, hammered gold jewelry. They are topped with turbans, mink toques, babushkas, knit caps, fezzes and feathers, and bottomed with boots, boots, boots. They are an incendiary eruption of color: violet, emerald, scarlet, mint, tangerine, rose, sapphire...
This time there are indeed trees, but they create the wrong effect. This play and this production are fine examples of the vital importance attaching to set design and color. Here Kahn presumably settled on the concept and the gifted John Conklin fashioned his scenery accordingly. The first act presents the discordant environment of the "envious court" and "the foul body of th' infected world." For this Conklin has provided barren brown trees. No complaint here...
