...wanting. Betrayed by his English accent, he cannot articulate inversions like "Luck I was always short of" without seeming to pronounce the quotation marks around the words. His most effective support comes from Dirk Bogarde as Bibikov, the court-assigned defender of the fixer. Wearing a fine mask of melancholy disdain, he grows gradually more revulsed by the corruption he witnesses in the palace of justice; his actions and his death predict the fall of the Romanovs as surely as any Leninist edict...
There's two gorgeous wrestlers, you see? A white one, Ricki Starr, played by Ricki Starr. And a black one called Lillywhite-don't you just love it? Ricki wears red ballet slippers and pirouettes in the ring. And Lilly has these terrific pectorals and wears a mask like Batman. He kind of falls for this absolutely sumptuous rock-'n'-roll singer, Christian, played by David Anthony. But before he can kidnap him, some wretched girls-the Touchables, they call themselves-capture Christian and spirit him away. They also steal some statues. The statues...
...fellow Europeans, but it was slightly disingenuous. West Germany's economic primacy in Europe is a fact, and so is the political leverage that goes with it, whether exercised or not.

He is forever barking out class-conscious slogans at what he regards as an inattentive crew of playgoing idiots. The Teutonic condescension of the man finally becomes as irritating as it is boring. Inspired direction can mask the defects of monumental didacticism, the preachiness of a Shaw without wit. This Director Vance fails to do. In Houston right now, the playhouse is the thing...
Desperate to get the ball back, Harvard tried an obvious onside kick-and made the recovery. Back rushed Cham-pi; on first down, unable to find anyone to pass to, he scrambled 14 yds. to the Yale 35. A face-mask penalty on the tackle took the ball down to the 20. More important, it stopped the clock. A draw play gained 14 yds., but then Champi lost 2 yds. trying to pass. The clock read 3 sec.; time for only one more play. Back again dropped Champi, frantically dodging tacklers, searching for a receiver. Just as he was about...
