...Neal does an admirable job of acting, but Ali MacGraw may have performed a miracle for Hollywood. She is an echo of a time when Celluloid City really was the dream factory, when people truly went to the movies every weekend. For Tinsel Town, she represents not only an irretrievable past but a plausible future. To moviemakers, she is the Girl Who Made Love Story Happen after six major studios had turned it down?the actress who was moved, she says, by the script's "straight, basic, clean emotion." She is today's closest approximation of the old-style star...
...just simple and not very interesting and never more than John singing and playing either guitar or piano (on which he is barely competent), backed by bass and drums. Once again, Phil Spector is listed as producer, but Lennon seems to have wisely restricted him to adding echo and nothing else, giving the whole album the sound of "Instant Karma."

Arbutus (the advocate here of art-for-art's-sake) and Blitzstein's mother-in-law or hear the echo of his wife's suicide when, at Mr. Musiker's most despairing moment, a character jumps out the window to her death. Elite indeed will be the group that sees physical resemblance between Blitzstein and Lehrman, who has cut his hair in order to look like...
...Words have been my only love," says Beckett. This show is abundant proof of that. The word as dance, as flame, as dirge, as echo, as whip, as caress, as cosmic howl-they are all here, and MacGowran catches every cadence perfectly...
