Without it, instant chocolate pudding would be greenish, artificially flavored grape soda would look blue, and cake mixes would have a lemony-green tinge. The substance is Red Dye No. 2, which has been used for decades to brighten up innumerable products, including frankfurter casings, pet foods, ice cream, gravies, makeup and myriad red pills. About 1 million pounds of the coal-tar-based stuff-a $5 million industry in itself-have ended up annually in more than $10 billion worth of foods, drugs and cosmetics...
...water was a greenish, oil-laden composition, often full of large black gobs, that would only come off the shells with gasoline. But it's hard to tell which was worse, the water or the people walking along side. A thin breakwall separated the canal from the river and Lake Erie, and oftentimes, fishermen would cast a line into the canal, although only disease-ridden carp could still live in it. Once, during a race, a fisherman cast his line clear over a boat and while he was still within shouting distance the air was full of invectives between...
...work like Jean Delville's Orpheus. A member of the symbolist circle, Delville (1867-1953) was a devoted admirer of Joséphin Péladan, leader of the Rosicrucians in France.

Lighting the film in greenish blues gives touch rather than drip to the melancholy forced by the heavy language of the play. Unfortunately, Newman is a prisoner of his material. It is Zindel's tiresome play that sends the movie floundering in sentimental squalor...
...into their homes. Last year Molloy planted an actor posing as a trainee in a New York City corporate office, and instructed him to ask 100 secretaries to retrieve some information from their files. First the actor dressed in "lower-middle-class" style: black shoes with large buckles, a greenish-blue suit, a white shirt and a chintzy blue polyester tie, thick glasses and a gold expansion watch band. In that garb, he was able to get only twelve secretaries out of 50 to go to the files for him. Later, in an "upper-middle-class" outfit-styled hair, expensive...
