Technically, the production displays all the excellence which comes as a matter of course to Hollywood. There is some fine landscape photography filmed in yet another new process, which is in no way distinguishable from Cinemascope. If a few million dollars less had been spent, if an hour had been cut from the first part of the film, and if a literate writer had been hired, MGM might have come up with a tolerably decent movie. But as a rival to Gone With the Wind--which it obviously is supposed to be--Raintree County just will...
Undoubtedly the greatest innovator in the ranks of modern painting since Cezanne, Picasso is represented here by several stages in his ever-changing process of vision. The late canvas Algerian Women, I, provides something of an anti-climax, more than a bit careless and in no way comparable to such definitive statements as Dog and Cock of the twenties, Woman Seated Before a Mirror of the thirties, or as early a gem as La Toilette of the Rose Period.

Disciple Sandor Ferenczi, a Hungarian analyst who was in the process of losing his own mind, offered to go to Vienna to psychoanalyze Freud out of his angina-which, Ferenczi was sure, was merely psychosomatic. Freud was touched by the offer but declined...
...changed in shade of meaning) the total drama shows the dignity and worth of "nigger Jim." Indeed, Huck's own moral growth is a function of his affection and respect for Jim. Other whites show badly in comparison as Jim teaches Huck not mere tolerance, but love. That the process is slow and painful and that it takes place in a still-enslaved South provide a realism which enhances the educational value of the book as a humane document...
