...room through it as he turns. In Ulysses Strick establishes early such an extreme convention of point-of-view narrative that nothing subsequent seems gimmickry. Stephen Daedalus (Maurice Roeves) walks on the beach as we hear his voice speaking the "Ineluctable modality of the visible" interior monologue. When he shuts his eyes our screen goes black until he opens them. Equally well integrated into the film's conventions are certain conspicuous parts of the sound track, as when Leopold Bloom (Milo O'Shea) hears a cuckoo clock chanting "Cuckold! Cuckold! Cuckold!" or some barnyard noises Bloom hears in a tavern...
Strick's enormous success at translating the "interior monologue" into images defies, for the most part, any specific analysis of his method. He has simply exercised great perceptivity of the mind's movement--its means of wish-fulfillment fantasizing, its rhythms. But one aspect of his method that can be identified is his use of close-ups. Objects inherently grotesque, though subdued by their everyday contexts, often fill his Panavision screen: fishguts on a butcher's block, kidneys plopping into a cat's dish. The viewer perceives that what might have been a "shock image" in Polanski or Hitchcock...
...civilian, who will probably be used as a figurehead, is Premier Constantine Kollias, 66, the former chief prosecutor in the Greek Supreme Court, who is a supporter of the King and an enemy of the Papandreous. General Spandidakis became Vice Premier and Defense Minister. The important Ministry of the Interior and Security went to Brigadier General Stylianos Patakos. The post of Secretary of the Cabinet went to Colonel George Papadopoulos, the commander of the Athens garrison, who reportedly directed the force that seized the armed forces radio station, occupied the government buildings and arrested political leaders. The other ministries were...
...from 1931 to 1935, a brilliant salesman who in 1932 introduced the company's Flying Red Horse as a symbol of speed, power and reliability, later became something of a symbol himself when he was chosen in 1934 to help F.D.R.'s Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes stabilize the industry's chaotic oil prices by pool-buying arrangements-only to find himself and other oilmen convicted on antitrust charges four years later when the Government decided they'd gone too far; of a stroke; in Summit...
Flat Shofar. As an insight into the self-righteous intricacies of Hasidism and the endlessly wrenching interior dialogue of the faithful Jew, Potok's novel is sound and satisfying. In craft and characterization, particularly in the passages dealing with a boy's reaction to World War II, it rings as flat as a shofar blown by a gentile. Listening to a radio report on the Normandy invasion, Reuven thinks miserably of the "broken vehicles and dead soldiers" on the beaches. No base ball-playing American kid-Jewish or otherwise-thought for a moment of bodies on that glorious...
