...reflects the distinctive McCullers quality of loneliness and terror. The others are merely mannerists. All that remains praiseworthy is the film's extraordinary photographic technique.

Actually, many banks have already been collecting close to 5% by cutting down the number of those eligible for the prime rate; now they will tend to up that rate by another ½% to many of their customers. Since interest costs are tax deductible, few businessmen...
