Giancarlo Giannini plays an ignorant, country peasant (Tunin) so fearful of death he scarcely utters a complete sentence or moves a facial muscle throughout the movie. Tunin is bent on assassinating Mussolini to avenge the death of a friend by Fascist henchmen. He sells his cow and goes off to learn from the anarchist Brighenti gang how to shoot a pistol. Waiting for the dictator's appearance at a public rally, he hides out in one of Rome's highclass bordellos, only to be thwarted when two whores fall in love with him and fail to wake...
...proved was an "intrusion or exploration by governmental agents of an area which one would normally expect to be private." One of Ehrlichman's attorneys, Andrew C. Hall, protested that the judge's charge was too favorable to the prosecution. Beyond that, said Hall, Gesell's "facial expressions and demeanor" during the trial had been harmful to the defense. But the tart-tongued jurist replied that there had not been much of a defense. It had been mainly a matter of "dodging around various issues of the case."

Arnott, in order to squeeze the maximum wit out of Coward's insipid manuscript, has worked out what appears to be a second-by-second computer program for verbal inflections, facial contortions, physical maneuvers, and furniture kicking.

At times, Arnott's exhaustive direction and his actors' slavish execution reaches self-parody: it is worthwhile, during the course of the play, to study carefully the director...
...people in the Young Vic Company are as nimble as acrobats and perform with a swinging verve and a broad comic style. The nimblest of all is Dale, a versatile actor, British TV comic and composer (Georgy Girl). In his facial contortions and his airborne, aisle-hopping feats, he is a direct descendant of the great physical clowns-unforgettables like Bobby Clark, Bert Lahr, Harold Lloyd, W.C. Fields and Buster Keaton. It does not require much prophetic vision to foresee that Jim Dale will share the same renown some day. · T.E-K...
...some: Mr. Gats gets some of Carroway's, Carroway is made to speak what had been silent observation, Daisy and Gatsby even get to act out some of Jordan Baker's. Further, the movie hardhits you with scenery, the shining shots like shiner punches at Fitzgerald. And it fumbles facial close-ups--as if a picture of a face, especially a face as blank as Redford's, could tell of the mind...
