Director José Quintero has caught some memorable vignettes: a beach picnic, as airily languid as the colored soap bubbles blown by a Mexican girl, and a muddled wedding party, alive with tears and frayed tempers.

He is tall, languid, perennially short of cash and preoccupied with strange solutions for his problem. Lord Glenorchy has tried his luck as barman, bagpiper and laborer to supplement the $28-a-month pension he draws as a wounded veteran of the famed Black Watch Regiment. No luck...
