...associated with the Mother of God. Hunter scarcely gives her a motion until her third appearance, when she shows up outside a magnificently imposing Widener Library, takes Lerner's arm, and leads him away without betraying a flicker of interest in her own action. Usually, there is an obvious gulf (sometimes a mite too obvious) between her and Lerner or between her and the camera's eye. It is achieved by a variety of techniques: camera angles, simple positioning, and just plain props like the bookstore window in her second appearance or the long dinner table of her eighth...
