...plot is still basic Austen. The aristocratic Mr. Darcy (Farley Granger) falls in love with Elizabeth (Polly Bergen), one of the five Bennet sisters. She dislikes his arrogance as sincerely as he dislikes her middleclass, mercenary mother. It is a classic case of love at first slight. As Darcy, Hollywood's Farley Granger is the stuff telephone poles are made of. TV's Polly Bergen makes a winning Elizabeth, but the ex-Pepsi Cola Girl seems to be selling her part rather than playing it. As Mrs. Bennet, the huntress of five carriage-trade husbands, Hermione Gingold growls...
...Movie. The western story was perhaps never meant to be told in words. Hollywood and the Wild West were made for each other, and it was love at first sight. The first real feature movie ever made, The Great Train Robbery (1903), was a western that introduced to the public a man who soon became the first of the great horse-opera heroes: Broncho Billy Anderson, a studio janitor who was drafted as a masked bandit.

Most of the same characters are still loping through the bedrooms and back alleys of Alexandria: Pursewarden, the slightly mad novelist-diplomat; Justine, the dark-browed, amoral Jewess; Nessim, her millionaire Coptic Christian husband; Darley, the sad-sack Irish schoolteacher; Melissa, the tuberculous Greek dancer. But the protagonist of this new book is a relative newcomer, David Mountolive, who returns to Egypt...
