...latter to try to renew a once torrid love affair with a married businessman, Mr. Lobelius (Ulf Palme). In another of his brilliant characterizations, Gunnar Bjornstand portrays the aging consul, who picks up Doris and plays Santa Baby with her for a day. He buys her a gown, a necklace, and a hot choclate with whipped cream; he quietly retches as he accompanies her on gassing rides at the amusement park; then he takes her to his mansion to mid-afternoon champagne.

As staged here, Gaunt walks slowly off stage in apparent good health; no sooner is the last of his gown out of sight in the wings when Northumberland (solidly played by Will Geer) bounds back into view to report Gaunt's death. Now Shakespeare is partly to blame, for he wrote only eight lines between Gaunt's last words and the announcement of his death. The director should handle this better...
