...Bruckner, he was also, in Steinberg's words, "the father of contemporary music-the forerunner of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern." Yet no composer was ever less interested in the objective development of musical form as such. For Mahler, composing was a highly subjective process of grappling with the deepest, most painful questions of life. "The creative act and actual experience," he said, are "one and the same...
...inch the patrician who enjoys academic ceremony. At the same time, says one friend, Brewster "holds a fundamental irreverence for anything stuffy, too old or established" -and delights close friends at dinner parties with his self-depreciating humor and talent for mimicry. Actually a loner who carefully guards his deepest feelings, Brewster is also gregarious enough to pre-empt center stage at bourbon-and-bull sessions with Yale's faculty and students. An ear-wearying public speaker whose official utterances are frequently pedantic and dull, Brewster shines wittily in small groups, admits that conversation rather than ivory-tower concentration...
Quinn plans a counterattack. Conning the kids, he becomes the head rodent of the rat pack.

Nini allows Danglar to leave her, abandons a rich lover and an ex-fiance, choosing the Cancan, not men, as the truest means of self-expression...
Those who planned this film first read Joyce quite profoundly. They discovered not only some of his wildest humor, but also his deepest tenderness, and his sense of how quickly the mind, in its movements, can leap from tenderness to humor, or from deep sorrow to humor. They discovered too Joyce's vision of man's hope, the optimistic vitality epitomized by Molly Bloom (Barbara Jefford), the Earth Mother, but well-represented in her husband (the "womanly man") Leopold. In the vital mind of Molly or Leopold, the choice is humor when humor and sorrow coincide. The Blooms...
