...shot in the bank's cramped interior, the visual monotony is relieved only by occasional shots of the street and a few crosscuts to Sonny's apartment. He dwells on ethnicity as though it were the last word since Bridget and Bernie, giving us social realism with a fond look at hysterical Italians, hot-blooded Latins, and stupid, good-natured blacks. Presumably in the name of verisimilitude, he refuses to edit out repetitive or slow-moving sequences. A real drama under Lumet's direction might keep us in the theater for days...

The finest day of my freshman week was spent wandering through it, and since most of my courses have taken place there I've grown fond of the old barn. The museum is down the street from the Freshman Union, admission is free, and it's open 9-5; 2-5 on Sundays. The special exhibit right now is on Ben Franklin (for those of you from points south and west, they take the Bicentennial seriously...
