...sinuous, full of witty, sometimes startling interjections and exuberant flurries into his laserlike top register, but always settling back into a sleekly lyrical groove. He probes the recesses of ballads like Yesterdays and Imagination with a risky intimacy. On middle-tempo numbers like Rough Ridin' and his own composition Mysterioso, he twists and flashes through the beat with a finger-snapping insouciance...
...work embraces a lot of art-book references, from the overripe baroque of his native Naples to Tantric symbolism. It is full of occultism, tarot, necromancy, devils, Sabbats and pallid sexual grotesquerie. It always looks hasty. It is heavy on the orifices: eating, coupling, defecating; the mood varies from mysterioso rhetoric to voyeurism. One moment Clemente is quoting poses from Giulio Romano's illustrations to Aretino to Indian miniatures (he spends part of each year painting near Madras); the next, copying a spiral staircase out of Mario Praz's Illustrated History of Furnishing; and after that, doing a billboard-size...

...head by a frying pan, which is tuned to D natural. Composer Willson thinks that Chaplin's longest (32 bars) melody, identified in the score as "Boulevardier," will be a hit. Other themes are called "Rape of Leeda," "Zigeuner" (gypsy), "Schweine-knocken" (pig's knuckles), "Pudding Mysterioso," "Empty Street Montage." One, the "Horse's Assmanship," is Charlie Chaplin's special tribute to Hitler. No one but Chaplin's staff has heard the full score of The Great Dictator. They think it is terrific...
