...reading your article on the continuing influence of Heaven's Gate [NATION, April 14], I am appalled that despite the suicide of 39 people in Rancho Santa Fe, California, there are still followers of this cult. One would think that people would realize the dangers of brainwashing cults. KYLE EBERLIN Buffalo, New York...
Overall, the most obvious slackening has been at dinnertime. The lunch trade is holding steady in many of the better restaurants, but even the midday period is grim in the funereal precincts of Wall Street. At Eberlin's, a financial-district favorite, volume is off 10% to 15%. For major hotels, the banquet and convention business offers slimmer pickings because companies are sending fewer people on combined business-pleasure jaunts...
...Although Laurence Harvey's acting capabilities enable him to register only an emotional strain of the kind plainly treatable with low-level patent medicines advertised on television, several scenes are genuinely moving, conveying the agony of a very trapped and very unhappy man.

A later confrontation between Eberlin and his Russian colleague Pavel (superbly played by Per Oscarrson) uses both lens and set distortion to accentuate the plot...
Haughty, dandified Eberlin (Laurence Harvey) is outwardly a London snob and secretly a top British agent. He is also a Russian assassin named Krasnevin who for 18 years has been knocking off other British agents as he knocks down a smashing double salary. Homesick, he begs his Red superiors to let him quit. Nyet: he must go on. And his job is getting tougher all the time. His British bosses have got wind of Krasnevin's existence-though they don't know what he looks like-and they want him expunged. As just...
Aspic was almost as cursed as Eberlin. Director Anthony Mann died before it was finished and Laurence Harvey took over, maintaining the film's tense, glossy style. But the Mann-Harvey combination could not quite cope with Aspic's thin and often incoherent content. No one in the film is properly motivated; nearly everyone is unremittingly evil. For the viewer, as for Eberlin, there is no one to trust...
