...Corbusier's ideas, Niemeyer combined respect for Brazil's climate, terrain and Latin tempo with his own love for the freeflow form. The curving, tiled lines of the restaurant, the soaring yacht club and casino, the many-arched Church of St. Francis were more sinuous and sensuous than any of the master's projects. "For five years after Le Corbusier's visit we followed him faithfully," said Niemeyer. "It was with Pampulha that we began to act more freely and Brazilian architecture began to develop...
...credit for the acting. As the mother, Betty Lou Holland is painfully good. And Actress Stanley triumphs over heavy odds. She is a full-bodied woman who shows every one of her 33 years, and never for an instant looks anything like a 16-year-old girl or a sensuous cinemama; but her playing is so intense that the sense of her physical presence seems to dissolve in the shimmer of creation, and the spectator again and again forgets to believe his eyes...
Masculine Males. What perhaps warmed U.S. audiences most was the robust, open humor and friendliness, the sunny exuberance that blew through the whole performance. The full-bodied Russian girls were ingenuously sensuous without being sensual.

...answer: nothing. His suicide will seem improbable only to grownups who have forgotten the questionings of their own youth. ¶In The Climate of the Lost, a 14-year-old daughter of divorced parents falls victim to the selfish misunderstanding of her mother. Unfolded in a sensuous South of France setting, it is a harrowing case history in which innocent young love is turned into a crushing, puzzling sin by adults whose sensual greeds have corrupted them to the point of monstrousness...
...Camp works in ice and acid, Pianist Prince-Joseph, in his album Anything Goes (RCA Camden), coaxes surprisingly sensuous sonorities out of his pedal harpsichord. His album achieves a fusion of styles that he refuses to label either jazz or classical. In I Could Have Danced All Night, for instance, he starts with a theme from Rodolfo's aria, Che gelida manina from La Bohème, develops the second chorus as a Mozart sonatina, cuts loose briefly with a sample of stride harpsichord, returns to Bohème in the coda. The album should send hi-fi bugs...
