...England to which Richardson devotes the first half of the film is a frightful place. All of the outdoor scenes in England were shot in cloudy weather, and through the grey obscurity emerge ghastly relics of an earlier, pre-industrial age. Richardson presents a society where the past oppresses the present. Near the beginning of the film, we are shown a huge equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington being drawn through the misty streets of London like a pagan idol. They've had it made, and now they don't know where to put it, someone explains. The statue...
Located on Warren Street in central Roxbury, Unity Bank is an unimpressive grey building with large arched doorways. Inside, the walls are just beginning to crack in some places and the bank seems small. Up the street, a drab, pre-fabricated government housing project stands alone, near completion, in the middle of a large barren lot. And directly across from Unity lies another lot--this one empty and muddy. But Unity's forlorn appearance and surroundings are deceiving...
...Christina was docked again last week at the grey-green isle of Skorpiós, and the principal figures were the same?Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and Aristotle Socrates Onassis.

From Holland an elaborate airlift brought in mountains of tulips, and lemon buds to be woven into garlands for the bridal pair. From the mainland came Father Polykarpos Athanassion, pastor...

As if this weren't enough, Prince shows the women hideously climbing up the platform, evil beasts holding Hortense's gaily colored parasols against the background of lighting designer Richard Pilbrow's mournful grey...
Swift Change. With his stringy legs, gaunt visage and balding, grey-fringed pate, Cranston looks like a latter-day Ichabod Crane, and his campaign style is reminiscent of Sleepy Hollow. Nonetheless, he holds a substantial lead over Rafferty in recent surveys, despite the fact that G.O.P. Presidential Candidate Richard Nixon appears to be far ahead of Democrat Hubert Humphrey. Recently, Mervin Field's California Poll gave him a lead of 47% to 35%, with 13% undecided and 3% in the "won't vote" category. There is likely to be an extraordinary amount of ticket splitting; Pollster Don Muchmore...
