How could Moscow deny a Soviet writer the opportunity to research a book on Lenin's stay in Britain? Kuznetsov transferred his Russian royalty payments to his wife and nine-year-old son. After photographing the pages of his unpublished works, he sewed the 35-mm. film into the lining of his coat.

His last film, The Two of Us (TIME, March 8, 1968), was built on the somehow delightful confrontation between an anti-Semitic old man and a Jewish nine-year-old.

Bruckner's Seventh Symphony has a glossiness that does not suit the music at all. Mozart's Jupiter and Schubert's Unfinished symphonies are the most unresonant...
...just-fledged owlet," as he put it, he began by pining helplessly for Adele Domecq, the dazzling but unobtainable daughter of his father's business partner (Father was a sherry merchant). Much later in life, when he was past 50, he fell tragically in love with a nine-year-old girl named Rose La Touche...
