...Yankees are my choice to drop out of the hunt first, but not until late in the season. They figure to wind up about six or seven games off the winning pace. Their main strength appears to be a fairly sound mound staff, including perennial strong man Mel Stottlemyre, Fritz Peterson (who dealt his wife and his popularity to Mike Kekich last spring), Pat Dobson, Sam McDowell and Steve Kline...
...Road: Crime and Aimless Kids." That has been a flourishing category ever since the success of Bonnie and Clyde, but Thieves Like Us has an even more direct ancestor. It is a remake of Nicholas Ray's excellent They Live by Night (1947), which, along with Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once, set the model in the first place. As usual, Altman supplies not an answer but an alternative to the styles and conventions of the genre...
...release from RCA makes amends handsomely, if belatedly. The set contains, for example, not just the famous recording of the Second Concerto made with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1929 but also another version with the same performers from 1924. Then there is Rachmaninoff partnering Fritz Kreisler in a fancy-free performance of Beethoven's Violin Sonata in G, Op. 30, No. 3 (1928). There is a stupendous performance of Beethoven's 32 Variations in C Minor, which might well have been retitled 26 Variations since Rachmaninoff omitted variations 15-18, 20 and 21 to squeeze...
Only a fraction of the energy that went into the study of abstract expressionism has been spent on Mondrian's small circle of U.S. disciples, such as Fritz Glarner, Ilya Bolotowsky and Burgoyne Diller. Their aloof and rigorous art could never have been a popular recipe; but allowing for that, and for the fact that they labored beneath the almost overpowering shadow of Mondrian himself, the silence about such pioneers is still remarkable. For though the public did not look closely or often at their work, later artists did; the "mondrianists" were one of the secret influences on 1960s...
Scott is never animated, never even engaged. Others - including Trish Van Devere and the others (excepting Paul Sorvino, who makes an amusingly sardonic spook) - embody the antique definition of good children: they speak only when spoken to. In the case of such actors as Fritz Weaver and Elizabeth Wilson, this is a blessing...
