Dear John is a tour de force of erotic realism by Director Lars Magnus Lindgren, 43. During a leisurely opening sequence, the film anchors itself in a bed occupied by a robust seafaring man and a young woman. The subsequent plot explains how they got there, using a free flashback technique that skips from his mind to hers, pausing at a remembered word or gesture, occasionally repeating a significant moment several times over...
Though satire is still around, it is not in very robust condition. Mort Sahl, once a master of the form, is as hard fo find as an old Will Rogers routine; his last television show lasted two weeks. Monologuist Bob Newhart, one of a line of snipers who picked off American postures and pretensions, is rarely seen on TV nowadays, and Sid Caesar has not been seen regularly since 1964.

Randy Lindel, as the colleen's Missituckian beau, and Peter Houghteling, as the bigoted legislator, Billboard Rawkins, were adequate but little more.

Since neither man is especially robust, long hours spent chopping trees and doing other heavy outdoor labor under sub-zero winter conditions could prove fatal. As far as Pravda, Tass and Izvestia were concerned, that would hardly be too harsh for what Tass described as "dirty foam brought up by the turbulent stream of life...
Denmark's King Frederik gave her a robust goodbye buss at the airport, and off flew Daisy on the first leg of her seven-week Latin American good-will tour. Stopping for a day in Manhattan, the lass submitted to a press conference at the Danish Consulate, where reporters started asking whom she's been dating lately. "That's a bit of an odd question," she sniffed. There were other nosy queries, but at last they were done and the searing TV lights went off. Gasped Daisy, better known as Princess Margrethe, 25, who will some...
