...product, however, is simply too much detail. When Russell attempts an outdoor scene, it looks more like he's constructed a horizonless hot-house. Consequently, in key sequences-as when Birken abandons the intellectual Hermione (Eleanor Bron) in order to submerge himself in nature-one never makes the necessary leap from physical facts to the metaphoric meanings. Why Birken isn't tearing himself apart with prickly burrs as he rolls naked in the ferns and bushes is a more absorbing question than why he stripped in the first place...
...they will exchange formal greetings and sample champagne and canapes. Despite the casual air, however, the delegates realize that they will have little time to waste. Unless the two nations move quickly they may very well miss an opportunity to prevent the nuclear arms race from taking a quantum leap...

Now the firm, which has billings of only $1,500,000, has in one large leap taken over the Peace Corps account, replacing giant Young & Rubicam. The account pays nothing, apart from roughly $150,000 a year from the corps to cover ad-production costs, but it could give the little agency valuable exposure in major media...
