...proved time and again that he is equally at home pinching a penny in his native U.S. or in his adopted Britain. Last week Getty, 74, was at it again-this time with some advice for British automobile owners anxious to get more miles for their money. "No cost-conscious motorist," said he, with his own inimitable perspective, "can ever afford to be without a chauffeur-even if he secretly plays the part himself...
...carpenter. Pym's delivery is faultless and his gestures suggest that he is as desperate as a man of his low-Court standing should be. Daniel Chumley plays the immortal Bottom with great exuberance, and a fine, rasping voice. But he played Bottom as a stand-up comedian, conscious of his power to entertain.

...functional. If he cuts to an off-balance full shot of a room, with Brando in screen right and a door in screen left, we know instantly that someone will open the door within a few moments. This simplistic concept of film-making has made Chaplin unfashionable with technique-conscious students. But the film-making in A Countess from Hong Kong is highly sophisticated; the editing has great direction and force, each cut timed to convey degrees of humor, and establish patterns and rhythms to which he can subtly refer in later scenes. Frequently he win cut back...
