Polanski is a graduate of Poland's state run school of cinema, yet the tale lacks any propogandistic overtones and could be set on a lake anywhere. Ideologically, it owes a great deal more to Freud than to Marx for the drama is one of personalities and not of social systems...
...other stories, notably The Other John Peel and The Firebug, are well told but have the characteristic defect in that Sillitoe's automata of the sub-world are moved to explain themselves in terms of those heavily bearded bores Marx and Freud. An unctuous homiletic tone slops over into the hard-case dialogue as Sillitoe labors to make clear that the allright blokes are pro-Corn and the real rozzers are Tory types...
...Orgone Box is a half-forgotten invention of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich, one of Sigmund Freud's more brilliant disciples, who in his middle years turned into an almost classic specimen of the mad scientist.

Among new composers, Jerry Goldsmith, 34 (Lonely Are the Brave, Freud), and Jazzman John Lewis, 43 (No Sun in Venice, Odds Against Tomorrow), are the most admired. The young writers have completely abandoned the customary 100-piece orchestra of Tiomkin's heyday; for next month's Shock Treatment, Goldsmith uses a chamber orchestra and a chilling array of electronic instruments...
