Some of the flavor missing in the script is captured by Tim McIntire's crafty performance in the starring role. Chainsmoking Luckies and always looking in four directions at once, McIntire's Freed is a classic show-biz hustler. The film's best scenes show him at his office dickering with the fast-talking agents who assaulted him day and night. McIntire listens to auditioning singers for only a few bars before turning thumbs up or down, and he exercises his power with sleazy theatrical relish. Unfortunately, even McIntire cannot fill in the movie's most...
...talk about some good-time cheap entertainment. A true New York City favorite is the Sabrett hot dog. For 50 cents you get the world's best all-beef (well, maybe mostly beef) frank with mustard, onions and sauerkraut. Have it with the works and that New York City flavor will stay with you for the rest of your vacation...
...Conductor James Yannatos brought out the talent in the HRO, combining the roles of the individual instruments with the orchestra as a whole. The dreamy forest of Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, the lightness of Saint-Saens's Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Bohemian flavor of Dvorak's Symphony No. 8 in G were all pleasing to the ear and mind. The technical performance of the musicians--particularly Roy Kogan's solo in the Saint-Saens concerto--was also fine. The Dvorak ended the concert with confidence, power and skill...
...ALLEGRO FINAL movement sounded particularly stirring. The orchestra played the fanfare and the subdued march of the cellos with full sensitivity, and Yannatos brought out each of the separate instrumental sections as well as the Bohemian flavor with great clarity. The ending, in which the horns lead an exciting theme involving the entire orchestra, revealed the same mastery of dynamics, color and suggestive instrumentation that the orchestra showed throughout the evening and that made the concert especially enjoyable and provocative for the listener...
They also have a flavor of 19th century colonialism. On Kwajalein, 500 natives often perform jobs of equal status with those of the 3,000 Americans, but are forbidden access to the golf course, swimming pool, free movies and subsidized food available to the outsiders. For security reasons, only Americans can live on the island. Every night the natives must commute by boat three miles to Ebeye, a slum island where 7,000 people are segregated on just 73 acres...
