...Canadian critic of "a young Joan Sutherland without the belle poitrine [fine bosom]," and six years later, her much-heralded talent faces the blowtorch of expectation with Alcina. NIDA-trained Way, resident director at Covent Garden, has no doubt Durkin's voice can take the heat. "There's a glint in her eyes," he notes. Moreover, she has the lightning-bolt stage skills to transfigure the role: "The voice, the imagination, the inner conviction, the dexterity and physical expressiveness, command of language...
...Oriana Fallaci likes to be disliked. The more hostility between her and her subject, she feels, the better the interview. In waging this belligerent kind of journalism, her weapons are a tape recorder, an eye-catching figure and a vulnerable glint in her wide blue eyes. She roams the world in search of people who are not simpatico but antipatico, and she has bagged dozens-Norman Mailer, Federico Fellini, Michael Caine, Dean Martin, El Cordobes, Hugh Hefner and the Duchess of Alba, to name a few ...

As a bounty hunter with a stern personal code of ethics, McQueen did have something Hollywood could appreciate: star quality. The fun in this first-season DVD is watching him mix it up with other tyros--James Coburn, Warren Oates, Michael Landon--who would also soon learn how to commandeer the screen...
...woman's nude figure in dark silhouette stands by a river against an unearthly sunset - or is it moonrise? Flowers and grasses glow with an inner light. Her face is partly hidden by her flute and by the snake draped round her neck - we see only the pale glint of the whites of her eyes. Rousseau said that when he visited Paris' Botanic Gardens he felt transported: "When I am in the greenhouses and see the strange plants from exotic countries, it is as though I am experiencing a dream." His words ring true when you gaze at his deep...
