...Rant & Sigh. Haranguing the crowd, Brown then advised them that "if you are gonna loot, brother, loot a gun store. Don't be running around here looting no liquor, 'cause liquor's just for celebrating. We ain't got nothing to celebrate about. You better get yourselves some guns, baby." While Brown ranted, Kirk sighed. "Nobody wants to hear me talk. It's a shame. I can give dandy speeches at the drop...
...Neill's, is a sort of Iceman Crumbleth set in 1828. The Irish emigrant hero is an impoverished Massachusetts tavern keeper adrift on booze and Byronism, who rages at wife, daughter (Jeanne Hepple) and creation.

In a churning rowdydow of rant, cant, poetry, politics, music, magic, rite and ribaldry, the play moved across the stage like half a dozen movies mingling incompatibly on a giant screen. When Director Brook finally came to film the play, he simply let his cameras zig and zag and make lazy eights above the steamy business; then...
