...antagonist, the Law; and as the Old Gentleman who informs Boubouroche of his long-standing cuckoldry, he is properly precious. Adele, the beautiful deceiver who reduces Boubouroche to grovelling prostration, is played by Penny Hays, mistress of the cultivated pout and expert as the picture of outraged innocence manipulating male gullibility. Jay V. Pati's Boubouroche is a little less convincing, due largely, I think, to his make-up-- a cross between the Great Gildersleeve and a silent movie Simon Legree, with a touch of the young Cesar Romero. He simply looks too worldy-wise and cunning...
...technical assistance can by itself fully account for the inspiration of the Summer Player, many of whom have never been quite so good before. Take Joanne Hamlin, for instance. Her Lady Cicely is everything Shaw himself could have wanted from the part: she can completely silence the ditherings of male incompetence with a few words in her quiet, unruffled voice that can tolerate absolutely no nonsense.

"Yes," said the young Queen, "some time in March." Two years ago, when Farah presented the Shah with his first male heir in three marriages, he cut income taxes by 20%, and his subjects went wild with joy. But with Iran's Peacock Throne already promised to the tiny crown prince, Teheran took the news of a second blessed event in stride. The Queen says she hopes for a girl this...
Shoot the Piano Player. Charles Aznavour is the male Edith Piaf of France. Like Piaf, he is slight, darkly sad-eyed, and sings and looks as if he were in mourning for his life. In this movie, Aznavour sings nary a note. He plays Charlie Koller, a shy honky-tonk piano tinkler in a demimonde bistro, who has a great deal to be mournful about...
