...Jabbar's account of the Naza renes is widely at variance with previous conceptions about the sect. Although Jerome claimed that the Nazarenes be lieved in Christ's divinity, the book declares that they regarded Joseph as the natural father of Jesus, whose Passion and death were proof that he was simply a great prophet and righteous man. On the grounds that Jesus himself was an observant Jew, the Nazarenes practiced circumcision, abstained from eating forbidden foods, faced toward Jerusalem when praying, and observed the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday. The Nazarenes refused to celebrate Christmas, which...
...diamonds are neglected, though, while Director Joseph Losey (The Servant) and Scenarist Evan Jones improvise humorous asides that savor of sick sex and smartness. As Modesty's aide-de-camp and partner in song (this is the anything-goes brand of moviemaking), Terence Stamp plays a knife-wielding thug who first appears abed with a dark-skinned trollop, throws a shiv after her as she dresses and steals away.

In the process, landscape, bric-a-brac and dreams may end up bundled together like tiny attics whose contents are reminiscent of the character of mankind. Joseph Cornell is just such an archivist, boxing trinkets that Huckleberry Finn might have put in his pockets, together with talismans as portentous as astronomical charts...
Touching Dossiers. The sixth in a long line of Joseph Cornells, he is the son of a textile manufacturer. He never studied art formally; indeed, the closest he came to any form of the arts was watching Francis X. Bushman and Pearl White star in pre-Hollywood films made in open lots in Nyack, N.Y., before World War I. As a young man he followed in his father's footsteps for a while, selling mostly woolens. But the Depression wiped out his job, and he began filling his boxes...
