Overwhelming white light was once thought to define the sight of God. The flight to Munich leads to a world of luminous order at the Haus der Kunst: icons from the 13th to the 19th centuries, from Greece, Crete, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Bulgaria. How can God, whose sight no living man has endured, be representable in a picture? The Orthodox were fundamentalists about that evident problem, but subtle ones: as the impression is to the seal that makes it, as the body to the soul, as the accidental to the essential, they reasoned, so the representation is to the spiritual reality...
...previous films this year (The Stalking Moon and MacKenna's Gold), Peck was saddled with period western costume. In The Chairman he is restored to mufti as John Hathaway, Nobel-prizewinning chemist, professor and all-round chump.

He stopped at Elaiohorion (pop. 280), a village surrounded by low hills, wheatfields, vineyards and olive groves, where Papadopoulos' father was schoolmaster. In each town the foundations were the same: the church, the cafe, and a code of ethics...
...John Kander and Fred Ebb wrote the immensely theatrical score; Joseph Stein did the adaptation from the Kazantzakis novel; and producer director Harold Prince tied it all together with a finesse the likes of which have not been seen since Jerome Robbins' heyday. Herschel Bernardi is the man of Crete and Maria Karnilova is his French lady friend. They have a strong assist from gutsy-voiced Lorraine Serabian, who heads a Greek chorus.
