...good as any master's course." In a swing that spotted the nation from Portland, Me., and Charleston, W. Va., to Grand Rapids and the West Coast, Shriver's routine never varied: he would come down the ramp of his chartered 727 wearing facial expression No. 1, a closemouthed, eye-twinkly look of expectation. Then, as he greeted the local Democratic leaders, he would go to expression No. 2, the Shriver grin-jutting out the lower jaw and squinting his left eye, for a conspiratorial Commander Whitehead effect. Sometimes he would shake the same hand two, three times...
...acting in this film is marvelous, particularly Innokenty Smoktunosky's Vanya. His petulant spats with his maman, his grandiose pretensions, his weepy self-pity; the sarcastic facial expressions alone are phenomenal. Sergei Bondarchuk, as Dr. Astrov, is a bit too much the Russian bear for my taste.

These motions raise the most ordinary pastimes to a kind of cherished ritual. The langorous physical actions and static facial expressions actually serve to heighten one's awareness of constant tension. For even at the most peaceful moments, fans tremble incessantly in the hands of the actors, attempting to dispell what must be the sweltering heat of summer, and to relieve the friction of increasingly jangled nerves...
Although I longed for the genuine Edward Bear to step forward and come alive from Shepard's drawings, Lisa Conley, who played Winnie, did not let me be too disappointed. Her facial expressions were charmingly Poohish to a great degree, and her snores were unmistakably from the bear himself. Eeyore, the old grey donkey, played by Divinna Snyder, was also portrayed convincingly. She spoke her lines with the exact tone of lovable melancholy that Milne gave to the original Eeyore...
