...lines in the 1930s, when people still looked up every time an airplane flew over, and a woman who wore pants was either an actress or an athlete. He could hardly have foreseen the day when, at high noon, two out of every five women passing the entrance of Henri Bendel's in Manhattan would be dressed in trousers. The fact that women's pants are a fact of life (45 million pairs will be sold in the U.S. this year) is a source of solid comfort to fabric manufacturers. It takes three yards of material to make...
...Henri-Georges Clouzot (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique) is a French film maker whose stock in trade is grafting psychological aberrations onto standard and somewhat sleazy melodrama. In La Prisonnière, his first film in eight years, Clouzot once again mixes an ordinary story with kinky characters, a soupçon of violence, and a touch of Krafft-Ebing just to add some spice.

Dutch Theologian Ansfried Hulsbosch suggests that man is born to seek perfection; in so far as he fails to grow toward this spiritual goal, he is both "originally" and personally sinful. Englebert Gutwenger of Innsbruck University conceives of original...
Paul Viaud as an Admiral is the last canvas that Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec ever worked on-and it is a far cry from his usual coquettes and dancing girls. Viaud was a family friend hired by the Countess de Toulouse-Lautrec to look after her deformed son and keep him away from the bottle. It proved an impossible task. But Lautrec seems to have appreciated Viaud's efforts, and slaved away at his portrait until too weak to stand upright on his maimed legs. It was still unfinished when Lautrec died...
