Silence & Ambivalence. The professional transition that prepared her to bat in the same boudoir with Mercouri and Moreau began with the part of the pretty young wife of the dissolute count in Luchino Visconti's segment of Boccaccio '70. But the role still had a touch of the old sentimentality in it, since Director Visconti had her cry while she was collecting money from her husband for granting him his marital consortium. Orson Welles has presumably buffed her up further as the nymphomaniac Leni in his still unreleased version of Franz Kafka's The Trial...
...Owen poetry (sung by tenor and baritone) accompanied by only a small chamber group. The general effect, as one critic noted, was "as though sections of [Mahler's] Das Lied von der Erde had been interpolated into the Verdi Requiem." The bells tolling for the dead in one segment of the Mass were echoed by Owen's line, "What passing-bells for these who die like cattle," while the distant menace of battle was evoked by the orchestra's strident tuba fanfare.

All together, those voters, and those personal qualities, helped Romney defeat Governor John B. Swainson by some 78,500 votes-thereby ending a 14-year Democratic dynasty in Michigan...
...when he discovers the funeral is for him (a grim whimsy of the duchess'), he runs out and is run through by the bully boys. The duchess' crime does not pay: her rival sneaks into her boudoir and sprinkles her beauty mask with some awful acid. The segment ends with the loudest shrieks since Fay Wray met King Kong...
