...undressed parts," reflects Dutch-born Actress Sylvia Kristel, 23, who first bared her talents in Emmanuelle.

Song of Summer, a life of Frederick Delius, is still one of the best and most subtle things he has done. With 1970's feature The Music Lovers, a parboiled melodrama about Tchaikovsky, it became clear that Russell was not interested in the fine details of fact. He is not much interested in narrative structure either, or intellectual or emotional consistency.
