...concentration on the emotion of the distraught wife. Some scenes are grotesque, but they are never offensively so. Paul Meurisse, brutal and dynamic, plays the lecher of women and money. Vera Clouzot, palpitating in guilt and disease, is morally both noble and weak as his wife. Simone Signoret, a Shelley Winters of the Champs Elysees, is calm and ecstatically vengeful. The composite is queer, probing, and quite perfect...
...best Broadway season in years-with Shakespeare. Marlowe, Giraudoux, Anouilh and Wilder on the boards; with Julie Harris, Shirley Booth, Ruth Gordon, Shelley Winters, Nancy Walker, Gwen Verdon on the scene; and more hits around than theaters to hold them-one of the most dazzling events is the performance in The Diary of Anne Frank of 17-year-old Susan Strasberg (TIME, Oct. 17).

Author Bradbury may owe even more to John Collier, another veteran djinn-and-bitters addict. Like Mary Wollstonecraft (Frankenstein) Shelley and Bram (Dracula) Stoker, these writers appeal to the middle or relatively uncorrugated brow, rather than the highbrow, who finds more than enough to bite his nails over in the Age of Anxiety without faking up a little more. The highbrow, in fact, whose modern poetic world has been defined...
