...Chinese landscapes in the U.S., the Southern Sung scroll on exhibition this week at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts is outstanding. This 12th century masterpiece tells the complex story of an ancient war that matters little. What does matter is the opportunity it gives to roam outside the body in a dream world of blue, green and gold, moving to the subtle, silk-smooth music of the painter's brush.

Lately, it seemed as if Sterling Hayden had really learned how to act; he turned in a fine TV performance in Playhouse go's Old Man.

The man obviously loves his material, and he has fired the players with something of his own excitement. Even bored old Keenan Wynn is back at his best. Cast as a great big horrible actors' agent. Actor Wynn slinks about the screen looking like an absurdly prosperous tapir in dark glasses. But when a terrified female pressagent informs him that his big star is pregnant, Wynn reduces his face to a heap of malevolent hamburger, and produces...
...holler for subtitles, but Kenneth More manages to say wahoo with a sly British accent in this fairly successful attempt to put a satiric rein on the Hollywood horse opera. The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. A genie, Cyclops and a floppy dragon conspiring against human types in a fine, sometimes frightening film for the kiddy...
