...some plays had fuel gauges attached to them, their needles would indicate half full. The full half of Staircase, which opened on Broadway last week, contains uncompromisingly fine acting by the two-man cast, Eli Wallach and Milo O'Shea, and a decent quota of amusing though not wildly funny lines. The empty half consists of scanty action, no character development, and a drowsy repetitiveness that comes from distending a potentially compact one-acter into a full-length play. The comedy concerns two aging homosexual barbers and is unlikely to offend any one, except possibly barbers...

But the only knockdown came in the 14th round, when Benvenuti collided with Griffith in mid-ring and fell...

...hear his voice speaking the "Ineluctable modality of the visible" interior monologue. When he shuts his eyes our screen goes black until he opens them. Equally well integrated into the film's conventions are certain conspicuous parts of the sound track, as when Leopold Bloom (Milo O'Shea) hears a cuckoo clock chanting "Cuckold! Cuckold! Cuckold!" or some barnyard noises Bloom hears in a tavern, when a greasy slab of meat falls from the gob of a man sitting near...

ULYSSES. Director Joseph Strick has fashioned if not the best, certainly not the worst possible film version of James Joyce's novel, helped by a fine cast of actors (particularly Milo O'Shea as Bloom) who ring as true as Irish shillings...
