...vehicle is the Faust theme, which is a pretty striking and typically offbeat Mersey gimmick. Fist (Faust) makes a deal with Chum (Me-phisto), who offers Fist the chance to experience "breakthroughs." All he wants in return is a 26-week option, subject to renewal, on Fist's inmost primeval soul. Oddly enough, when he first steps into the world as the Devil's man, Fist doesn't change much. He starts cutting classes carefreely, naturally. But it is some time before he even gets around to going to a motel with a pretty young high school...
Poodles were In once, but of course their popularity put an end to that. Inmost at present, at least with show folk, is the Yorkshire terrier, a minuscule puff of fierce fluff, first bred by sporting Yorkshiremen about 100 years ago to fight to the death with rats of equal size.

Too often the view is obscured by the arabesques of an intricate and suspensefully entertaining plot, but often enough the onlooker is left quietly alone with Actress York, who at 22 can still quite easily pass for bittersweet 16. who with marvelous urgency seems to writhe...
...fierce regard for man's fate. In The Moviegoer, he writes about New Orleans and the surrounding countryside as though he had created it, but that is almost the least of his virtues. The main fact is that his theme-the despair that attacks numberless people in their inmost minds-is handled with just the right degree of seriousness and humor, of rancor and indifference...
