...middle 1960s as a radical critic of culture and advocate of the New Sensibility, denied that her films were influenced by the work of Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman. "It is the Swedish tonality of the films that causes this reaction in viewers," she said. Both "Brother Carl" and "Duet for Cannibals" (1969) were produced in Sweden...
...directed by John Clarke, wisely pays as much attention to acting as to music.

She delivered Una voce poco fa from It Barbiere di Siviglia, prompting Grey to begin the duet Là ci darem la mano from Don Giovanni. But the bantam of the opera was no match for the diva, who drowned him out. Said Sills: "He's more sexy with." Said the don: "Cesare Siepi, eat your heart...
