...this year, only eight small non-Communist tramps have made the run to Haiphong (v. 32 in the same period last year), mostly under British registry out of Hong Kong. Moreover, the British contend that this trade, while economically negligible, may actually benefit the U.S. "After all," said an English official in Saigon last week, "there are certain intelligence advantages in having a British skipper going into Hanoi now and then...
...however inadequate Goldman's play be, Director Noel Willman has somehow contrived to make is worse.

Yet Pasolini at his best has created something more noble and touching than a Marxist Messiah, and more authentic than the customary sun-kissed Hollywood Christ. The film's dialogue, for example, comes intact from the Book of Matthew (with English subtitles translated according to the English edition by Monsignor Ronald Knox...
