...film "festivals" starting in Boston and Cambridge this week celebrate what are probably the cinema's two most popular genres--the whodunit and the skin flick. In the sixties film festivals tended to showcase a great actor or director, and the nearly constant Bergman and Bogart festivals at places like the Brattle Square are holdovers from those days. Now they tend to focus on particular genres. These festivals aren't Hitchoock festivals or even Radley Metzger festivals; they aim to show the whole range of detective films and erotic films, the good, the bad, and the commercial, the typical...
...prosecutor's cross-examination of Edelin was a little haphazard, skipping back and forth from one antagonistic strain to another but dropping constant suggestions to the jury.

Her constant association with the general throughout the war stirred rumors that she was his mistress. The speculation gained credence from Harry Truman's statement in Plain Speaking; he had seen a letter from Ike to General George Marshall saying he planned to divorce Mamie to marry Summersby. Summersby, who later...
...survives not as prediction but as experience. The dogged probity and sensuality of his reactions to nature were uncommon in advanced art; yet it was Dove, more than any other early abstract artist, who set what would become a motive of American painting down to the present day: the constant intrusion of epic landscape as the armature, the secret image, of abstract art.
