...there was the young girl with a pony tail and a green book-bag which was a little frayed at the seams, who had walked back from Widener at the closing hour with the young man with whom she had had a study date. At the steps in the shadows before her dormitory he kissed her very quickly and very tremulously on the lips. She stood in silence for a moment, then asked very earnestly, "Why did you do that?"

...washroom, and in the imaginings which return to his old post. Unlike The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari where the complex settings were photographed straight-on, the camera work, done by Carl Freund, is essential to the doorman's fantasies.

...from his parents (a successful Paris modiste and her bookkeeping husband), the simplehearted, cheerful and generous Corot never knew hardship, was free to travel to Rome, voyage about France, take in Switzerland and Holland. His prime subject was landscape, which he recorded in masses of clear-cut light and shadow just as he saw it. The result, well illustrated by his early study of the Norman port of Honfleur (opposite), was a clear handling of geometric masses that came within a brush stroke of anticipating the discoveries made years later by Cézanne...
