Despite his limitless Cockney verve and 2,000,000-candlepower smiles, Tommy Steele's range is small, and the movie's relentless series of overproduction numbers serve to reveal his limits. Of the cast of thousands, only Cyril Ritchard as a pauperized playwright and Grover Dale as Kipps's clogging boyhood colleague come off well, largely because their appearances are confined to a few key scenes...
...literary reputations are writing almost exclusively about sex. John Updike's Couples, said to be the "big book" that critics have accused him of shirking for years, is about ten married or mismarried pairs in a New England town, and Updike can be expected to use his apparently limitless descriptive gifts to detail sexual acts. Gore Vidal's new book poses the question of whether a transvestite can find happiness in Hollywood.

...Kremlin possess power that is potentially limitless and unrestrained in its exercise; they could blow the whistle on reform any day and reimpose at least some of the tight discipline of the past. Once fully launched, however, liberalization may not be so easy to stop. The vast reorganization of the Soviet economy and the increasing force of technology are producing a second revolution in the habits and outlook of the people that the Kremlin will be hard-pressed to reverse. If that revolution continues to work its influence, arousing among Russians a longing to join the modern world and giving...
