Schaffner's direction has no charisma, no wit, little skill. With the exception of the obvious, lowangle shots of Gregory Peck as the evil doctor, his camera set-ups are standard and static, the editing choppy and unrhythmical, the use of select German symphonies and thundering crescendos at the sight of Peck ludicrous. The pace is non-existent until the last twenty minutes, a bloody brawl between Peck and Laurence Olivier as an old Nazi-hunter, when it may be labeled "slow." The old men resort to biting each other, and the graphic shredding of Olivier's ear and Peck...
Three cheers for the prostitutes [Oct. 2]! When will the lawmakers of this country realize that crimes of violence result directly from repression of the pleasure drives? The obvious solution is to leave the ladies to their trade and let the puritans leave the rest to God. Perhaps then the cops can do what they're paid to do instead of harassing innocent people...

They must earn at least as much next year as they will in 1978 in order to finance the new planes that they will need in the 1980s. Increasing fares, the most obvious answer, could prove politically difficult. So, to hold their 1979 earnings up, the airlines must attract as many as 30 million new passengers next year, on top of the 280 million (a 40 million annual gain) they are expected to carry in 1978. Thus the lines have a problem: while...
