...andante itself was slightly reminiscent of Bartok. But from then on, the rest of the concerto was undiluted Chávez-bursting with repeated-note, marim-balike rhythms, themes sometimes curiously plaintive, sometimes broad with the flavor of mesquite and wide-open spaces, and orchestrated throughout with all the colors of a Mexican scrape. Some listeners found it too long (45 minutes); there were eight movements, plus a long cadenza which demanded, and received, much from its performer, but added little to the concerto.

Authors Dee Brown and Martin Schmitt spin plenty of such robust yarns in Trail Driving Days, and for added flavor and authenticity they pack in 229 portraits and illustrations.

...were really popping that night at Café Istanbul (Sun. 9:15 p.m., ABC). Someone had fired a shot at the nervous little man just in from Iran. Was it oily-voiced Achille Zazsrewska ? Or was it Christopher Card, the hard-boiled American whose dialogue had an oldtime Hemingway flavor ("You remember the Place de la Concorde. You remember it fine")? Or it might even have been suave Raoul Felki, the Turkish commissioner of police...

...years, is an interesting cinematic curiosity, quite unlike anything produced in the West. The judges at the 1951 Venice Film Festival gave it their grand prize, and other moviegoers may also be impressed by its expert photography, fluent direction and scorching insight-in terms of peculiarly Oriental flavor-into the frailty of the human animal the world over...
