...little fraught with psychological conflict to support this elaborate metaphysics. David Dukes plays the part with consistent, low-keyed humor. His southern accent is fine. As the deserter on the make, he is convincing. But where is the potential interest in watching an ordinary man such as this consort with the Devil? The question was never answered for me, nor as far as I can judge for the rest of the audience-who gave only desultory applause to the first...
...Rubbish. Snowdon, now 40, ventured into film making to prove that he is something more than just a royal consort and a still photographer. "A still photographer," he says, "is a mechanic. He's not an artist, despite all you read." Snowdon, of course, remains one of the world's most artful still-picture mechanics for Vogue and London's Sunday Times.

When Playboy's publisher first met his Barbi doll, she was a student at U.C.L.A. and had "no interest whatsoever in any kind of a nude feature. When she became interested in a film career...
...difficult to describe than to comprehend visually: especially since John Thornton's set design and Lewis Rampino's costumes manage to establish with ruthless clarity the interrelationship (emotional, political, sexual) of this curious pastiche of characters. The Blacks-the suppressed minority, whether sexual deviants, freethinking criminals, disgruntled lackeys-all consort to overthrow the Establishment, symbolized by the Queen, the Judge and the Governor, perched high aloft the stage on a wooden scaffold, At center stage sits the draped coffin of a white woman, supposedly massacred by the Blacks...
