...excellent group of soloists and a nicely balanced program made the second concert of the Bach Society Orchestra even more successful than the first. Mozart's Bassoon Concerto, which opened the concert, was a delight.

The costumes are rich, not gaudy, and the actors are borne lightly on the lucid stream of language that flows throughout the film. Even more mesmerically than he did in the play, Paul Scofield pulls all eyes toward himself by the abundance and subtlety of what seems to be happening inside him. Seen close...
