...pretty, if you like the montage of dreary brown buildings with drearier green grass, and director Ronald Neame uses the camera with heavy-handed steadiness throughout the movie. One bad effect that sticks out from the rest is the effort to produce a symbolic snowfall at the end, to parallel Joyce's Dubliners. Neame had no snowstorm, however, so he had home-made snow dropped before his camera, resulting in the most phony look of the week. Scottish monomaniacs will like the incessant squirl of bagpipes, but most people tend to get very tired very quickly of this form...
...operators talk poor mouth out of a fear of a proposal to levy a 2?-a-gallon fuel tax on users of the waterways, which have hitherto been toll free. The rivermen are even more upset over a threat from the nation's railroads, which whenever they run parallel to barge traffic are required by federal law to charge 6% more for freight than the barges.

The type of subsidies Junior A players receive are quite similar to athletic scholarships in American colleges, and this parallel can not be avoided...
...present Communist Party organization, complained Khrushchev in a 5½-hour speech, is "a drag" on production. To stop the drag, he proposed still another major reorganization, this one to divide the entire party apparatus and each of the Soviet Union's 15 federated republics into two parallel chains of command. One set of committees will supervise agriculture; the other will supervise industry. This runs counter to Communist dogma that divisions between city and country should be erased, but Khrushchev obviously hopes that it will make for greater efficiency...
