...talk at all, and treated him impersonally. After Bynder moved to Colorado, he got his doctor the way most people do-by asking a neighbor for a recommendation.

Four full-length films could hardly unravel the interlocking time structure and convoluted personal relationships in the four separate but interrelated novels. Thus 20th Century-Fox might have been well-advised to follow the traditional Hollywood practice of isolating a single incident from one of the novels and blowing it up into a complete story for the screen. But fearlessly, the studio resolved to distill the essence of the entire Quartet -carefully constructed around Freud...
