...rest of the movie is a sado-masochistic version of an old-fashioned quest-not for a golden fleece or a Holy Grail, but for Lee's stolen share of the stolen loot. His techniques are sometimes interesting-as when he uses a white 1967 Chrysler convertible to subdue a bad-guy passenger by crashing, crunching and slamming the car into a junkyard heap. His invasion of the syndicate's impregnable penthouse (carpeted in wall-to-wall red fox fur) begins with a steamy sex wrestle and ends in a superbly vertiginous shot of a naked mobster arcing...
...sudden success as a playwright. His first effort, Entertaining Mr. Shane, was a homosexual, black comedy (boy meets girl, boy bludgeons girl's father, boy runs off with girl's brother) which London critics voted the best play of 1964. Orton's next plays, Loot and Crimes of Passion, were just as black and just about as successful. Instead of spending his days with Halliwell, Orton became caught up in a social whirl of producers, directors and stars. Halliwell was shattered. He tried to become a painter, but got nowhere. He chain-smoked hashish, then tried eating...

In the camera's last view he has completed his heist, and is sitting on a train with satchels full of loot. Before the viewer's eyes he slips from youth to middle age, a pathetic pariah whose luxurious tastes cannot disguise his barren obsession...
...some 2,000 Congolese stormed and sacked two floors of the Belgian embassy, invaded an adjacent apartment building and mauled an American Army sergeant and his wife who were trapped inside. Then it moved on to hurl rocks at the French cultural center and the American and British embassies, loot shops and set fire to cars along the way. Before Mobutu decided that it was time for him to ask the rioters to go home, they had torn down a 35-ft.-high bronze statue of Belgium's King Albert I that had been a city landmark for years...
