...hard to pity the man who made Falstaff. Film directors pay for control, and control marks every frame of this film: control over settings, performances, shooting, and meanings. Except for the Brattle's shoddy projection, it is hard to imagine this Falstaff better, or different. Still, it is pleasant to think that a few pennies of my $1.25 may eventually find their way into the pocket of Orson Welles. I hear he's saving up for another movie...
Trip to New Orleans. If Gait was remembered as shy and pleasant by most of his acquaintances, the Hollywood drinking crowd in the area of an apartment he rented and at the St. Francis Hotel, where he also stayed, recall him as an obsessive racial bigot, an abrasive patron who belted screwdrivers, dozed on the bar stool and bickered with anyone around.

Clarke grabbed the rod, set the hook, and gaped with astonishment as a monstrous blue marlin leaped clear of the water. "My God," breathed Young...
...EVERLY BROTHERS, while not strictly an individual, are not a group either, and their overwhelming auteurisme cries for inclusion here. Their pleasant-blending thirds and Nashville nasality give them perhaps the only sound in rock that can carry with genuineness, distinctiveness and positive effect into the field of Christmas carols. As with Elvis, Don and Phil's records were consistently two-sided, with the uptempo line of Bye, Bye Love, Bird Dog, Claudette, Wake Up Little Susie, Problems and Poor Jenny balancing the ballads: Love Of My Life, Devoted to You, Crying in the Rain, Love Hurts...
