...wretched brass playing in an andante section, all of the movements were well done. The speakers were also good, particularly Daniel Seltzer, who read an opening chorus, Mercutio's Queen Mab speech, and some of Friar Laurence's best lines. Lynn Milgrim Phillips made a charming Juliet, and Paul Schmidt an adequate Romeo, though his relentless theatricality became a bit tiresome...
Weekend, honored as the best Danish film of 1963, suggests that life in that tidy, prosperous welfare state is a smorgasbord of boredom and discontent. As interpreted by Director Palle Kjaerulff-Schmidt, its benefits whet the appetite but dull the taste. "What we need is an air raid," says one world-weary citizen. "Masses of planes, guns firing, everybody seeking cover or protecting the kids." Lacking such clear-cut goals, he and his friends make Scandinavia sizzle...
...Paul Schmidt and Lynn Milgrim (Orestes and Electra) have nearly half the play's lines; and both are, for the most part, striking. Schmidt must make plausible a wide range of moods--from grieving madness and whispering weakness to hollow posturing and bloody rage. His resonant voice and liquid movements aid him in rendering realistic the avenger-turned-criminal...
Astronomer Maarten Schmidt focused Palomar's big scope on the strange source of electromagnetic noise. By using very long exposures, he photographed 3C-147's spectrum-the rainbow of lines and hues that give away the chemical secrets of their source. The pictures brought out oxygen and neon lines that were shifted farther toward the red end of the spectrum than any such lines ever photographed before. Since red shift is caused by motion, 3C-147, Schmidt decided, must be speeding away from the earth at 76,000 miles per second, almost half the speed of light...
...other principals, John Ross as the Younger Mortimer and Paul Schmidt as Gaveston, maintain the quality of acting. Ross, especially, uses his voice to advantage and suggests the energy and temper of a Hot-spur in his court and battle scenes. Gaveston, Edward's favorite, begins slowly, but comes to life in his dialogues with Edward and in his dealings with the disapproving nobility. Like the other principals, he depends on more than vocal pitch to show his character, and punctuates his speeches skillfully with breaths and stops...
