...long time. The consumer is now learning it on a broad scale, and the evidence can be found in any American kitchen. Take the case of the housewife who reels out a yard or so of expensive aluminum foil to catch the drippings from her Sunday chicken. Her husband may argue that this is waste. The wife will contend that it saves her the work of scrubbing the oven. Worth it? In a peasant economy, the wife's time would be worth very little, the aluminum a lot. But in the U.S., the husband can afford the aluminum...
...shore line. The heroine (Maureen Stapleton) is a kind of common woman's Phaedra. Just as the Greek Queen went mad in her passion for her stepson Hippolytus, this Sicilian widow near New Orleans goes mad in her passion for the memory of her dead truck-driver husband. When a young sailor lights the fires of love in the eyes of her 15-year-old daughter (Maria Tucci), the widow turns fiercely moralistic.

Voiding his pilot's license, the Civil Aeronautics Board ruled that Roe has "a significant character deficiency," and "cannot be trusted with the duties and responsibilities of a pilot in command of an aircraft...
Tension is set up most intensely in the sadic electricity that crackles between the principals. Pleasence plays the husband as the abject dog beneath the good grey skin of a middle-aged respectable who has made his pile and lost his nerve, as a whipped cur whining, wriggling, licking, leaking, crawling on its belly in pathetic need to please. Dorléac plays the wife as a bitch-kitty who doesn't know she is alive unless she is sinking her claws into some poor hound. Slander, in the funniest and most sinister performance of his long screen career...
