...actors' problems are varied. Jack Gilpin, as the young writer Treplev, and Sarah Payne as Nina, the girl who leaves him for a more successful writer and a career on the stage, simply do not generate enough excitement as the principle characters. Some of the actors cannot convincingly portray characters who are supposed to be older than they are. Frank Leupold, as the old man, Sorin, exaggerates his senility too much to be effective. Scott Munerbrook, as the successful writer Trigorin, on the other hand, looks and acts too young for the part. There were, however, two fine performances...
...made some people vomit, but the crickets "just licked it off and kept on coming," said Schoolteacher Mariestela Barros. Some Altinhos thought the plague was a sign that God was displeased with long hair, miniskirts, rock music and the decrease in churchgoing among Altinho's youth.

"Yes," said the mayor. "Well," said Khrushchev, "how does the ceremony go?" "You mean," said His Honor, "that you want me to read it now?" "Yes," said Khrushchev, and then, taking his wife's hand, he exchanged vows with her. Touched, Nina forgot that she was cross, and when the mayor intoned, "Do you take this man . . ." she lowered her eyes...
Madhouse Notes The drowning of a young couple in Women in Love and the Swiss idyll corrupted by an epicene aristocrat. The aborted honeymoon in the swaying railway car in The Music Lovers and Nina Ivanovna's dementia. With each new film. Ken Russell has become increasingly obsessed with madness-which is dangerously like a kind of madness in itself. Now, in The Devils, he has made a delirious fresco about the insanity of the witch hunts in 17th century France. It is a movie so unsparingly vivid in its imagery, so totally successful in conveying an atmosphere...
