...things to say. Small wonder. Believing The Mousetrap good for about a six-month run, she had made a thoughtful little gift of the royalties to her grandson, Michael Pritchard, who keeps up a 900-acre estate, an 18th century manor house and an Alfa-Romeo on the proceeds...
Comparisons were irresistible, but as the week's performances emphasized, Bruhn and Nureyev are not really comparable. Bruhn, a mature 38, has polished his classical style to a peak of powerful precision and expressive economy. In the U.S. premiere of his pas de deux for Romeo and Juliet, he evoked muted strains of Romeo's tragic ardor, but the focus was less on his characterization than on the discipline of his whippet leaps and turns and the flawless flow of his carries with Italy's graceful Carla Fracci. Marveled Nureyev: "His technique is too good...
...automaker, sold 1,178,000 in 1966, an impressive increase of 231,567 in two years. In 1967, Fiat expects to top that by 8%, and considering its deal with Russia last year (TIME, May 6), long-term licensing prospects look impressive. No less hopeful are state-owned Alfa Romeo, with 68,000 in sales last year, and Lancia, with 36,000 in 1966 sales...
...Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet fantasy-overture was disappointing despite occasional flashes. Runs which used to spell disaster for the strings were clean, and the horns were the best I've ever heard them.

He seemed to have little interest in bringing out Tchaikovsky's natural schmaltz. With that sort of attitude, he probably shouldn't have performed Tchaikovsky...
...this a brilliant, realistic job of Renais sance costuming and the warm, melodic score by Prokofieff. This film is more than just a record to be catalogued with a sigh of relief that a famous stage production has been cinematically picked. It gives Romeo and Juliet intimacy and immediacy as well as permanance...
