...unhappy about being a "compensation," and I suppose I don't mind being a "sort of Ivy League Dracula" [in the Oct. 19 review of Pillow Talk]. I can smell a compliment better than anyone I have ever met. No, all I really have to complain about is that I think you underrate Clark Gable [in the Oct. 12 review of But Not for Me]; he's really a deceptively good artist.

From the 5 a.m. reveille ("opening of the rules") to the evening meal ("medicine") to the 9 p.m. bedtime ("opening of the pillow") the daily ritual is, to Mizoguchi, a crushing bore, though U.S. readers may find it novel and fascinating. He soon discovers that the temple Superior's path of self-enlightenment is strewn with cigarettes, sake and geishas. Mizoguchi's behavior is scarcely more admirable. A diabolical, clubfooted fellow acolyte...
