...women dressed as Greek nymphs and the men as the lecherous mythical satyrs, the dance stresses the pas de deux structure, with the different pairs alternating on stage. Although their movements and gestures are based on ballet, the overall quality is much more free and unrestrained and possesses a fluid, electric energy. Orange, yellow and pink gowns, bare feet and a haunting set of tall, dark trees looming over the stage all contribute to a mesmerizing effect...

Some body fluid shifts from the extremities to the chest and head; a portion of the fluid is excreted. Fatigue sets in, and sound sleep becomes elusive. The heart's size shrinks by 10%. Astronauts exercising on land after a flight have a higher pulse rate than they did before space...

Altman borrows the best qualities from the live theatre of precisely staged movements and vocal patterns and merges them with the best potentials of the cinema--fluid-flashbacks, close-up shots and angular filming. The setting of the tacky small-town corner Five & Dime, with its plastic-covered swivel stools around the counter, the displays of cheap trinkets, and the neon-like wall displays and jukebox, never become too confining as Altman uses perpetually changing positions...
