...wall, and through this the nucleic-acid core is injected. Micrographs show whether viruses are basically cubic or helical in structure. They also reveal that viruses may have an exquisitely complex symmetry around as many as five axes, and contain hundreds of submolecules, each of which may have a hollow hexagonal structure. Chemical tests show whether viruses have cores of ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and whether they have enzymes or fats in their coats...
...ends rather than bad ends. In Un Carbon Dansait, a slum-bred youngster dreams of being another Fred Astaire; Montand manages a brilliant satiric evocation of second-rate Astaire-the outflung white-gloved hands (without the gloves), the staccato rhythms tapped out on a walking stick like a hollow third leg, and the agitated centipede footwork interrupted with dazzling toothpasty smiles. The funniest number casts Montand as a feverish symphony conductor who snaps his baton, his Beethoven concert and his career in two to waltz off with a girl who cares only for waltzes. In sentimental Parisian songs, Montand runs...
...with peace." The endlessly zooming cyclists are part of the space race, and an unseen "General" has decreed that this race must go on and on. When he realizes this, Holbrook picks out a spectral home on the Milky Way. Playwright Wittlinger poses as a Pirandellphic oracle, but his hollow parable is less an adventure of the mind than an abject failure of nerve...
Most of the apparatus is hidden ten feet below the ground. A linear accelerator will start the process by firing electrons into orbit inside a 240 ft. diameter doughnut." Attached to the hollow tube are huge electro-magnets which will further speed up the particles in radio frequency pulses. After eight milli-seconds and 10,000 turns, the high-energy electrons will be directed in bursts at targets in the experimental hall...
General della Rovere is a technically perfect movie, a marvel of skillful photography and acting. But its overall effect is nowhere near as moving as director Roberto Rossellini would have us believe, and at times it is hollow and dull...
