Dazzling Lifts. Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is an offspring of Manhattan's original "drag" dance troupe, Larry Ree's Trockadero Gloxinia Ballet, in which Bassae, Anastos and Taylor were members. Ironically they defected because Ree refused to permit them to take male roles. "I love partnering," says Natch Taylor, "so I was fired. Let a brilliant solo technician dazzle the audience with fancy footwork, let me dazzle with my lifts...
...phrases), he is the best around. His weekly columns in The Village Voice have an obsessive quality, achieving for the mid-seventies what Dr. Thompson did for the violence and insanity of the Nixon years.

He seemed to me to be the type of guy who gets hit by the Second Avenue Subway while trying to rape a Tactical Force policeman in drag. Kubrick also ignores a potentially exciting view of the 1760s--the Hogarthian underside of English society. All told, the carefully composed landscapes and Kubrick's use of a new German lens to film in candlelight just save this film from being potboiler par excellance. That Kubrick's visuals can overcome such poor acting is a credit...
