Very little of the Soviet Union is on view, save for a few actors badly dubbed, a couple of dancers from the Kirov Bal let and several forests. The most characteristic Russian moment comes in a duet between Will Geer and Mona Washbourne. They portray the deceased grandparents of Tyltyl (Todd Lookinland) and Mytyl (Patsy Kensit), the two intolerable cuties who have been dis patched by Light (one of Miss Taylor's incarnations) to search out the Blue Bird. On their mission, the kids visit the . Veil of Memory, where they find Grand ma and Grandpa snoozing. Soon after...
...lovable old grandpa on The Waltons' TV series, but Actor Will Geer, 73, is still the leading man in some circles.

Real names of persons and places are used except where they would be most crucial. The conspirators-Burt Lancaster, Robert Ryan, Will Geer and John Anderson among them-are assigned fictional names, but only the vaguest identides. Ryan, the force behind the plot, is wealthy; Lancaster apparently is a maverick intelligence operative; Geer, an elderly man who has oil interests. Such sketchiness satisfies the requirements of neither history nor drama...
