While these sour truths seep in, the old Follies girls (De Carlo, Fifi d'Orsay, Mary McCarty) do their thing. Ethel Shutta siphons pure delight out of a number called Broadway Baby and reminds us, as do the others, of how much more verve, authority and presence the older stage professionals possessed than do many of their flaccid present-day counterparts. A campy show might have mocked the old stars, but Follies shows an un-American respect for age by honoring their skill, valiance and tenacity...

The motivations are too involved, and the action itself is one which goes beyond personal conflict; it is treated as such. Like a good old Warner Brothers hack, Clavell lets the atmosphere seep in as his story rides, doesn't try to obfuscate the dialogue, and relies squarely on his camera only in climactic moments. Since the film is an epic, there are many of them: gruesome treks, battle scenes and fatal individual combats. There is little of the David Lean-William Wyler...

...major sewer system and, except in the largest towns, cannot afford to build one in the near future. Because Suffolk's 1,200,000 residents depend on backyard cesspools and septic tanks, household wastes that do not break down in nature­especially detergents­eventually seep into the underground water supply. As a result, more and more drinking water flows out of the tap with a smelly foam that tastes awful and perhaps affects human health...
