...pinko Pundit Konni Zilliacus, Laborite Member of Parliament. During her untrammeled childhood, when her father was with the League of Nations Secretariat in Geneva, Stella Zilliacus obviously kept her eyes open and the tape recorder of her memory turned on. Real names drop like ripe plums-Nehru, H. G. Wells, Anthony Eden, Bernard Shaw-and the fictional ones seem to be readily guessable. What emerges is a wickedly witty portrait of an atheistic, humanist household headed by a zealot father who devoutly believes that religion is "nothing but a means of maintaining injustice, corruption and poverty," and a euphoric mother...

...tread the simpler level of the story-the interplay between a clod husband, a deceitful lodger, and a restive wife who dreams of escape from the back stoop of life. Ironically, the portraits seemed to fall out of television focus when wisps of Odets ideas slipped in. Actor E. G. Marshall was brilliant as the cuckolded husband who yearned for ''a little warm house in the snow where you were told what to do, like in school." Actress Kim Stanley, in another excellent performance, was the adulterous wife who talked about the supreme confidence of her first husband...
...tussling with Olivier, she seems more directed by him than acting with him-as if by wiggling his off-camera ear he gives her the cue to giggle. Conversely, Olivier, almost embarrassed by being an on-camera Svengali. often appears to stoop gallantly to make his protégée as towering as he is. The highlights of any such Graustarkian foolishness usually, though strangely, come when Graustark momentarily seems real. Olivier does the trick, facing Marilyn's gee-whiz antics on their carriage-borne way to Westminster Abbey, when he cracks the faintest smile in film history...
