...effort to flush out any and all possible amusement that Turgenev might have tucked away in the script, Hamlin allows his actors to employ too many different comic styles. The result is that this production is both unfaithful to the play as well as to itself; in fact, during a few crucial scenes there seemed to be at least three different plays going on all at once...

Senate cigarette foes, in fact, promise either to pass a tougher law or do nothing-and thus allow the regulatory agencies to impose almost any rules they please. Understandably, N.A.B. officials had been working on their blackout proposal for some time, and their announcement last week came soon after Utah Democrat Frank Moss, head of the Senate Consumer Subcommittee, sent telegrams advising them that...

...imaginations hadn't castrated by eleventh grade health teachers, Garbo clothed and smoking a cigarette would be enough to turn us on. In fact eroticism in art derives as much from what is suggested as what is shown--those of us old enough to appreciate eroticism have already found out by took and crook what everything looks like and don't need very much of it unbared on the screen to heighten the impact...
