...There's Jeff Beck's introduction to "Over, Under, Sideways, Down;" Ray Davies' integration of "Land of 1000 Dances" into his archetypal "Top of the Pops;" the musical moment between "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women," which signified the end of mainstream Sgt. Pepper experimentation; "Lola." Pithy moments that, like good imagist poetry, are form, substance and implication in the instant they are heard. Take Peter Townshend's "My Generation." The singer's stutter says as much as the lyrics and says it better...
...cabarets--which have an air of being recent revivals--the striptease shows have taken poses from Liza Minelli (her film is immensely popular on the Kurfurstendamm) and one establishment has the latterday name of "Lola Montez." There are still touches of the bizarre: a poster advertises topless dancers parading engagingly as boxers--gloves, helmet, Everlast. The political cabarets have become almost purely theaters, and the shows are tame; one has closed down to become a children's theater.

...Lola Montes. Famous for its tracking shots, this extravagantly baroque film by Max Ophuls (Marcel's father), was one of the most colossal financial failures in the history of the cinema, but its 1969 re-release led to much critical approval. The film stare Martine Carols and Peter Ustinov and hurtles madly through Lola's scandals and romances with Lizst, the King of Bavaria, etc., through exciting circus scenes, even through a loose version of the 1848 revolutions...
