...movies. In 1970 there was D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love, with its male-nude wrestling, symbolic bulls and drowned lovers. Then early this year came The Music Lovers, a biography of Tchaikovsky, which, as Russell describes it, is "the story of a homosexual who marries a nymphomaniac." This summer, there is The Devils, an account of religious hysteria in a 17th century French town; in it, a far from celibate priest is accused of bewitching an order of nuns, and is tortured and burned alive...
What finally shakes Alren up is a stumblebum encounter with a sullen nymphomaniac (Tiffany Boiling). He takes a plane to Mexico, gets a quickie divorce, and, without explanation or motivation, promptly returns for his exwife, whom he seduces in the linen closet of the country club. "There are no answers," he announces with the pride of someone who has solved the riddie of the Sphinx. "You've just got to start by starting."

The two films were directed by Ken Russell, who is not noted for beguiling audiences with characterization. But Actress Jackson overcame both Russell and the difficult role of Gudrun with her range and depth of talent, conveying dark sensuality without the usual physical equipment. "The chance to explore such a mysterious...
...Jones masquerading as sophisticated literary figure, editor of "The Two Islands Review" (founded after "George's" Paris Review went soft), and Boswell to an American expatriate named Harry T. Gallagher. Gallagher is Jones as celebrity author and sexual psychopath-though his tentative adventures with a bi-sexual Negress nymphomaniac are so scantily drawn as to give the impression that Jones has mellowed with his marriages-yea, even become family-minded and moralistic. To read Gallagher-Hartley dialogue is to watch an author's dark urges confront his brighter ones, the latter, of course, winning out. After all, this...
