...commercial accolades in the music business is a gold record, signifying that a given release has had retail sales of $1,000,000 or more. In the pop field, goldies are a dime a dozen, but in the 21-year history of LP, there have been only five million-dollar classical bestsellers. Three of them - The Glorious Sound of Christmas, the Messiah and The Lord's Prayer - were made by the Philadelphia Orchestra,* a top seller down through the years, and the most-recorded orchestra in the U.S. Small wonder, then, that it finds itself right in the middle...

The central core would...
...appealing less to our intellect, more to our emotion. If this is true, it's especially worth going to the Charles and seeing The Dove. (Negatives, the feature with it, you can forget about--though then the short will be costing you about a dime a minute). The Dove is funny and pretentious. It will show you what's to be seen on the surface of "classic" Bergman: what probably won't be seen there much longer...
