...particularly intellectual either. His flat in unfashionable Pimlico has a laundry on one side and an antique shop on the other, and his friends come chiefly from bohemian Chelsea, Fleet Street, and the theater and fashion world. For two years Tony's great and good friend was a sloe-eyed Chinese model named Jackie Chan (now playing a "yum-yum girl" prostitute in the London production of The World of Suzie Wong), and last year they holidayed together in Switzerland...
...days of shooting. Director Rossellini himself had seen the finished film only one day before the festival deadline; there was not even time for careful editing. But with money and time running out, Rossellini, whose reputation had been sliding downhill even before he ditched Ingrid Bergman for India's sloe-eyed Sonali Das Gupta, was forced to gamble on an unfinished draft. Despite the long odds...

Cyril Cusack, trying to milk every drop from the "dense and driven" poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins (Caedmon), lingers with such lip-smacking satisfaction over Hopkins' sprung rhythms, internal rhymes and clashing dissonances-"lush-kept plush-capped sloe"-that the effect is a little like a gold-threaded, jewel-bedecked gown that dazzles the eye but numbs the senses...

Two who do: tousled Bil Baird, a gentle Midwesterner who looks like a shop teacher in a progressive school, and his sloe-eyed actress wife Cora. Early this month, on TV, they clinched the argument with ABC's delightful, top-rated Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf (TIME, Dec. 8), which gave millions of adults a chance to watch the Bairds' marionette fish, their nose-wrinkling rabbits, and even a Baird cat climbing a tree-all funny rather than cute. Next Baird...
