...Gruesome Impact. Cabbie Miller became a suspect when one of his passengers reported that he had confessed to the murder. After he was arrested, Miller was held incommunicado for 52 hours, denied counsel and told that one of his pubic hairs had been found in the child's vagina. The police assured him that he was mentally ill and would be sent to a hospital if he confessed. Soon after Miller signed a police-written confession, he recanted...
...crime. The shorts were apparently too small for Miller, but a police chemist testified that the blood was type A, the same as the child's, while Miller's was type O. Prosecutor Ramsey brandished the shorts with what Justice Potter Stewart last week called "gruesomely emotional impact upon the jury...
Boldly, he choreographed "total theater," in which a work was not "evaluated solely on the intricacy of its movements but on its overall theatrical impact." His first full-length ballet was a total-theater version of The Three Musketeers, a romp-and-stomp spectacle in which the Danish swashbucklers made Douglas Fairbanks look like a party poop.

He is professionally at home in such separate skins as those of an Establishment army officer or a U.S. Southerner, but his soul seems to belong to his working-class roles. He is that new hero, the chap who is supposedly above class-but if he really is, why does he keep aggressively displaying his non-U traits and compulsively needling Old Blighty's oldest values? With Caine, all this springs from something deeper than dialogue and technique, as does his mock-deadly appeal to women...
