...Imogen Cunningham is ninety-one years old. She lives in San Francisco. For seventy-three years she has made a living taking photographs. "I've lived so long and stayed with photography so long that people are curious about what makes me tick," she has said. "I suppose that by the time most people are my age, they have it made. Maybe it's the lack of money that pushes me along. I've always worked for money, and I've always had fun doing it. People often marvel at me, 'I don't know how you keep so busy...

People say they will never do another Russell film, but they all go back...
...Oliver, Stilbourne is an awful shambles from which he must escape. He is the classic adolescent-ruthless, secretive and vulnerable; few better studies have been written of his condition. He wrestles with sacred and profane loves, one represented by Imogen, a local beauty and culture snob who is headed for a cathedral marriage, and the other by Evie, the town crier's pretty daughter, a "secular" sexpot with eyes like black plums. For Oliver, a chapel-going apothecary's son, marriage is unthinkable with either, even when he gets Evie pregnant (or so she lets him think...
