...Maria Schneider on the screen. I told him, 'That's impossible. If that happens, our sex organs become the centerpiece of the film.' He never did agree with me. The Godfather"? What the hell did I know about a 65-year-old Italian who smokes twisted goat-shit cigars?" The young actor he admires most is Robert De Niro, who played the young Godfather. "I doubt he really knows how good he is," says Brando...

Her cousin Emma Vaughan was variously "Toad", "Todkins", and "Toadlebinks"; her sister Vanessa was "Dolphin", "Sheepdog" or just "Nessa"; her brother Thoby was "Gribbs", "Grim", "Herbert", or "Thobs"; and she signed herself just about anything: "Billy Goat", "Goat", "Goatus Esq.", "Wallaby", "Kangaroo", "Apes", and so forth.

Monreal creates a highly-charged atmosphere in "Piosenki" which underlies his expressive end, unlike the other three who substitute the ambience of drama for its substance in "Yin and Yang," "Chidori" and "Goat Dance." Danced to throaty cabaret songs composed by Zygmunta Koniecznego, Monreal's duet has less specific associations than the other drama and succeeds in its allusiveness. Laura Young and Woytek Louski sweep through a succession of breath-arresting lifts, revealing the tenderness and trust implicit in "duet...
