Even if the widow's emotions have been crippled--as she contends--by her betrayal by Miller, Ingrid Bergman's portrayal is flat as a steppe, alternating facile hatred with superficial charm. Anthony Quinn does better as Miller, in a roomier role. Several relatives of the producer seem to be cast in the minor parts. Maybe Wicki knew what he was about after...

...Ford edged up from 26.1% to 26.4% on 543,463 autos sold. The big factors in Ford's comeback: the restyled, standard-sized Galaxie and the Comet, another '63 compact that was given longer, more flowing lines for '64. Ford's attractive new Thunderbird and roomier Continental are also selling well, but the preference for new looks and larger autos has dented sales of its little-changed intermediate Fairlane and compact Falcon...

...compacts, which the increasingly style-conscious West Germans are switching to. Opel's sales jumped spectacularly in 1963's first three quarters-up 39% to 228,000 cars. The rise was led by its new Kadett model, which is 6 in. shorter than the standard VW but roomier inside, and sells in Germany for $1,269 v. $1,245 for the VW.

...Club 47 has moved from its 47 Mount Auburn Street building to roomier quarters on Palmer Street, near the rear of the Coop. But though the address has changed, the name will stay the same--the site will be known as 47 Palmer Street by the consent of Cambridge officials...

...rest of his cast, which is helplessly inept. Philip Heckscher's pre-adolescent and pre-Raphaelite Claudio cannot conceivably be guilty of the crime for which he stands condemned. Presumably he hopes to play Hamlet some day; meanwhile he might blow his nose--and get into something roomier than the shockingly indecent tights he has been asked to wear. Carol Schectman gives us a plump-cheeked, milkmaid, Putney-girl Isabella and somehow makes a two-dimensional part seem barely one-dimensional. Jacqueline Winer transforms Mistress Overdone into an inaudible New Orleans madam of the steamboat days; the accents...
