...peaceful landscapes and bustling city streets never scream for attention or proclaim their mastery. But the mastery is there all the same. In his last year, when he could not easily get about, Pissarro painted what he could see from his apartment windows-the Tuileries, the Louvre, the Carrousel. In one of these, he captured perfectly the golden summer light of Paris. But he did it, as usual, in a humble and muted manner forcing the viewer to take a long and tender look...
...when the planes are flying over Heartbreak House and bombs are falling, the East House show crumbles right before your eyes. The play proceeds at an agonizingly slow pace until the final scene; then it races at breakneck peed over important and meaningful lines. The actors overact and over-scream consistently throughout most of the play; then there is an almost total lack of noise of excitement when the bomb falls.

Belmonte was always the torero of "four olés and an ay!"-the scream coming whenever he was gored or pitched into the air on the horns of a bull. Then, in 1920, Joselito was killed in the arena, leaving Belmonte the unchallenged maestro. When he retired at last, he had killed 1,650 bulls and been gored scores of times. "How many?" stammering Belmonte once said...
...Happy Thieves (United Artists). Some movies, as they say in the trade, are released; others escape. This one, completed last April, seemed of such dubious character that it was promptly confined in the company's vaults. Now at large, it will probably make moviegoers scream-occasionally with amusement, mostly for the dogcatcher...
