IPHIGENIA IN AULIS. After 2,400 years, the human truths in this drama by Euripides are still as fresh as open wounds. Directed with musical cadence and poetic tension by Michael Cacoyannis, the story of Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter for the Greek cause is a moving lament for all who die young in war.

Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen's Singin' in the Rain proved again the ingenuity of U.S. moviemakers to bring fresh style to the format of musical comedy, which, like jazz, remains an authentically American art form...
