...There's an African rule. If you go right down from Kenya, through Angola, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa, you can spot pretty well those black organizations which are saying the things that will have mass support. It's not always those who have the largest numbers on their membership lists at the moment. In South Africa it would be the African National Congress (ANC), the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC), and the Black People's Convention...

Work on the cathedral continued through two world wars...
...tell one cottontail from another -but the vocal characterizations by such English worthies as Ralph Richardson, Harry Andrews and Denholm Elliott are never confusing. The English pastoral tradition, both in painting and hi literature, informs the movie in a subliminal way that is very attractive. It even makes the largest miscue, a dreadful pop song called Bright Eyes sung by Art Garfunkel, almost bearable...
