...Hollywood's greatest movie monster and something of a real horror in his own right; in San Clemente, Calif. Chaney, originally a character actor, created the role of the Wolf Man. But among his finest performances were Lennie, the clumsy, stupid giant in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men (1940), and the arthritic marshal in High Noon...
...beautiful though embattled fortress where the boy adoringly watched his father pitting the benevolent forces of orgone against evil forces that he called "dor." There were ominous times. "Daddy put a radium needle in the big accumulator in the lab and everyone got sick. The lab closed, the mice died. People went away." He recalls the day when FDA agents arrived with court orders to dismantle the accumulators. The elder Reich was cooperative but bitterly sarcastic. "I could feel the glow from Daddy's head," writes Peter. He could also smell the Johnson's Baby Oil which...
Lion (Al Pacino) is an innocent, and Max (Gene Hackman) a combative cynic of the open road. Like George and Lenny in Of Mice and Men−rather too much like them, in fact−Lion and Max fall in with each other while hitchhiking on a lonely country road. Max has spent six years in stir at San Quentin; Lion has been at sea in the merchant marine for five, fleeing the strangulating responsibilities of family and a 9-to-5 job. Lion is on his way to Detroit to see his wife and the child she was about...
Legacy. Good tried a different approach with five-month-old David Camp, who was suffering from hereditary immunodeficiency disease, which had already killed twelve infants on the maternal side of his family. Thinking back to work that he himself had done in 1956, Good remembered that mice given bone marrow from donors whose cells were genetically similar suffered from graft-v.-host reaction but never died from it. He reasoned that David, too, would survive if a good tissue match could be found...
...problems of Of Mice and Men are different, and the Loeb's audience as one might expect, was considerably more polite. Floyd's score is competent and pleasant, and has several moments of real drama, notably an exultant second-act trio for the ranchhands who think they've found a home of their own at last. Steinbeck's play is effective enough to carry some of the rest, particularly since NERO's exemplary singers enunciate every word clearly...
