...good parody of sleazy courtship rituals, but more often irrelevant to what was being expressed. "Cambridge Dances", choreographed by Bill Evans, and "Journeys", by Martha Armstrong Gray, were more fluid than the other works, but too abstract. At times, in both of these dances, Gray would suddenly shiver and limp, but even this never gave more than ripples to an overly calm surface...
Chaires retaliated with an extra-man tally, but middy Andy Anderson, playing a fine, scrappy game, took a feed on the crease from Milliken, and bounced a high but limp shot...
Convict Jarvis Chuff, a brainy, pacific and proletarian train robber, finds himself mysteriously sprung from the nick. His benefactors turn out to be a wealthy singer turned princess by marriage, a Church of England vicar, an ancient British major with a limp and a svelte, pneumatic upper-class bird named Philomela. Chuff (homonym for Chough, the acquisitive European jackdaw) is given the angelic name of Gabriel and soon put to work with Philomela (namesake of the poor lady who had her tongue cut out and was turned into a nightingale). Clad in dark cat suits, they pull off various nocturnal...
Zeffirelli's adoration of the Umbrain country-side is understandable, but the voice of British pop star Donovan singing limp lyrics as Francis romps his way through masses of poppies and fields of grain turns the story into a musical tour de farce. St. Francis's own documented hymns to his "brother sun and sister moon" bespeak a pious, almost pagan Christianity, inspired by the ballads of the troubadours he heard throughout his youth.

...learned their trade outrunning "revenooers" on mountainous "white-lightnin' trails," screeching through 180° "bootleg turns" without spilling a drop of moonshine. By the time of Papa Petty's retirement in 1962−induced by a nasty 150-m.p.h. crackup that left him with a limp−the circuit was slightly more respectable and much more lucrative. Today, attracting more than 1,500,000 spectators a year to modern high-banked tracks, drivers pad their earnings by turning their cars into billboards on wheels. This year Richard Petty reaped a reported $500,000 for agreeing to paint...
