Somewhat less comfortably, Losey flirts with Brecht's best-known theatrical devices: he uses a chorus (as well as the excellent original score of Hanns Eisler) and stages the scene of Galileo's anticipated recantation in stark relief - huge shadows against a white screen dwarfing the fore ground figures.

...timing in running the burlesque just when Ford was on a national mission abroad. But after the WIN buttons, the list of undistinguished nominations, the drift, the constant domestic travels, the bloopers and the gaffes, few could deny that New York's article inside had brought to the fore some basic questions about the President's capacity to do his job.
