...fratricidal anger among Jews gave little comfort to Defendant Adolf Eichmann. Witness after witness nailed down his direct responsibility for the slaughter. Hungary's Regent-Dictator Admiral Nicholas Horthy was intimidated when a warning from the U.S. to call off Jewish deportation was followed up by a heavy bombing of Budapest, and ordered the deportation stopped. He was overruled by Eichmann. An Eichmann lieutenant proposed that Jews be deported at a rate of 3,000 a day; Eichmann-fearful that the advancing Red army might rob him of his prey-boosted the rate to 12,000 daily...
...respectability, pitted against Jean-Louis' young yearnings, lends low-key drama to her languid, libidinous surrender. The violence in Summer comes with a hellish, heart-halting air raid at film's end, in which green-and-golden youth agonizes over red-and-black realities of war. The slaughter awakens in Trintignant compassion and duty; his suffering loses him Eleanora but gives him manhood...
What everyone feared was the kind of flare-up that would touch off another bloody slaughter like the March 1960 Sharpeville massacre, when police guns killed 67 Africans in two minutes.

Police squads were already rounding up all the suspicious-looking natives they could find, soon had more than 5,000 in their net. At Fordsburg, near Johannesburg, 700 arrested Africans were corralled in outdoor cages. To back...

Ingeri, the slut who, in envy of the girl, casts the spel! that precedes her rape and death, excuses the murdrers by saying Odin has possessed them. The parallel to the householder's mindless slaughter of the murderers and blind dragging of his followers back to the scene of his daughter's death, is surely intentional. Obsession and tension make compelling viewing; they do not make persuasive or perceptive art. Bergman wanders instead into a morass of behavioristic description which robs his stories of meaning and depth...
...crucified man whose body had been pierced again and again by long knives and large nails hung last week on canvas in Beverly Hills' Frank Perls Gallery. Near him, in another painting, a green nude was trussed up and suspended like a sheep being carted off to slaughter. Equally ghoulish was the subject matter of most of the pictures in the exhibition-but undeniable power showed in their uninhibited color and eerie distortions...
