...removal from a London theater to make room for the premiere of Laurence Olivier's version of Chekhov's The Three Sisters, Sam had dropped Anne a line, asking her to see it with him. While waiting for her at the cinema, Sam fortified himself at the next-door pub with two pints of bitter and a rum-and-Coke. Wasn't he nervous? "She's like any other bird, really," he gulped.

The best of The People Next Door is the brilliant, low-key camera work of Gordon Willis, whose fine eye for color and composition enlivened other moribund exercises...

Borrowing Disraeli's philosophy as well as his phraseology, they sought to destroy the image of the Conservatives as a party of businessmen and bluebloods. Macleod became a close friend and political ally of Heath, and more recently, his next-door neighbor at No. 11 Downing Street, the official residence of the Treasury chief...
