...Wellesley season wound up with an impressive production of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, directed by Athan Karras, a native Greek with considerable experience in his country's great classics. He presented a movingly stylized and austere show, using Gilbert Murray's not too satisfactory translation (Yeats' is no better; there is still need for a truly actable translation).

Sydney Sturgess was badly miscast as Jocasta; but Ellis Rabb acted as cathartic a Tiresias as one is ever likely...

But the sudden emergence...
Shake Hands with the Devil (Pennebaker; United Artists) turns a heap of expensive ingredients-James Cagney, Don Murray, Michael Redgrave, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dana Wynter, Glynis Johns-into an everyday Irish stew. Taken from a 1934 novel by Rearden Conner, the plot concerns a young American (Murray), a medical student in Dublin just after World War I, who finds himself innocently involved in "The Trouble." Pursued by the Black and Tans, he is spirited away by one of his professors (Cagney), who turns out to be a high officer in the Irish Republican Army. Grateful and idealistic, he joins...
