...country seat-actually Blenheim Palace, where much of the filming took place, marking a ruinous setback to the dignity of Britain's stately homes. Hollywood Writer-Director Andrew Stone's handiwork, billed as a black comedy, hues to the popular misnomer for any movie that dares to flaunt some inept waggery or mishandle a corpse. Secret obviously deserves a description of another color. "Green-sickly" might...
...rightness of the goal? The way to bring about this understanding is NOT to jam it down their throats. Sure, I am as idealistic as the Project workers, and feel that segregation and other injustices are wrong. But is the aim of the civil rights movement to flaunt our superior moral understanding in the face of the long-standing traditions of the South?

Fresh Face. European historians reason that every Rothschild at birth is already 150 years old, and worth several millions.

...Williams as an erotomaniac, for whom the mildest epithets are "sick" and "decadent." Yet taboo has often been the touchstone of drama. In the profoundest play of Greek tragedy, a man kills his father and marries his mother. Shakespeare and the Elizabethan drama drip with gore and violence and flaunt unnatural affections. Other critics think that Williams' choice of themes shows America to be -as angry young British Playwright John Osborne puts it -"as sex-obsessed as a medieval monastery." Yet Tennessee Williams fills foreign playhouses from Athens to Tokyo, and his current play, The Night of the Iguana...
