...Pieces of Gold. Throughout all this, the Queen serenely continued her tour. In the northern territories, tribal chiefs put on dazzling ceremonial durbars for the royal visitors. At Tamale, muscular, nearly nude warriors in bikini-brief grass skirts performed the End of the Harvest dance. The most spectacular ceremony was the Ashanti durbar laid on in Kumasi before 35,000 people, including some 150 major and minor chiefs. Host for the ritual was the Asantehene, Otumfuo Sir Osei Agyeman Prempeh II, King of Ashanti and the most important chief in all Ghana...
With my apologies to the judges, I must say that I preferred Miss Rochlin's blue-toned nude (in Briggs) to the winning canvas. It is here that she achieves her greatest compositional balance and subtlety of color. The nude reclines, her head and right elbow tossed back, and strenuous shading carries the consequent tension most effectively throughout the body...

Julie is a chambermaid (Josefa) who is found in the nude (her favorite outfit) and unconscious, with only one accessory, a revolver. Beside her lies the dead body of her lover, a Spanish chauffeur who used to beat her "but never when he was drinking." They both worked for an aristocratic Paris banking family, the Beaurevers; the magistrate, influenced by Beaurevers' power, is all for clapping the girl in jail, case unheard. But his young assistant (William Shatner), fired with ideals of justice, insists on investigating. What ensues, in judicial quarters of dilapidated grandeur, is an intimately candid inquiry...
