...equally long long sequences of fast motion shots. No film in history achieves the degree of three-dimensional depth maintained consistently in 2001 (and climaxed rhapsodically in a shot of a pulsating stellar galaxy); Kubrick frequently focuses our attention to one side of the wide screen, then introduces an element from the opposite corner, forcing a re-orientation which heightens our sense of personal observation of spontaneous reality...
...decisive element is how long the gap between gold's monetary price and its free-market price remains small. For the present, the latest $2 billion of gold to reach private hands creates a price-depressing oversupply in the market. If the free price rises to $45 per oz. or more, as some European moneymen predict, it may tempt some nations to sell official gold for the profit.

His laconic humor and bent for undisciplined improvisation invariably takes precedence over careful development of theme through characterization and narrative. In The African Queen, the pretentions of melodrama cancel-out the element of romance, providing only an irritating absence of clarity of purpose. Considering its creators, The African Queen represents a sad, if entertaining, meeting of people whose careers were moving downhill. Bogart and Hepburn had made by far their best films, she for Cukor and Bogart for Hawks; Huston's reputation as a director grew deservedly tarnished...
