...whisper to a banshee wail, exuberantly projects the confident sexuality of Baby, I Love You: If you want my lovin'. , . Stretch out your arms, little boy, you're gonna get it, 'Cause I love you. Or it summons the throbbing despair and resignation of Going Down Slow, a lament of oncoming death: Somebody write my father . . . Tell him that early one morning, look for my clothes home. To the gospel sound of Clara Ward she adds the jazz feeling of the late Dinah Washington, lays it over a pounding rhythm-and-blues beat, and seals it with...
...moving camera. He hasn't succeeded yet; Visconti is most comfortable with romantic, even operatic, material, and therefore his most effective zooms are fast and dramatic (the zooms to close-ups of Cardinale in Sandra, for example).

The vulgar-cliche style of these sequences can only be described in Nabokov's term, "poshlost." The reporter self-righteously editorializes: "The Nazis tortured because of a guilty conscience from oppressing Europe during the war . . . In Viet Nam, the U.S. is in the same situation ..." Meanwhile the horrors of battle are shown in pictures as stilted as window displays, the blood stylistically spattered...
...that, it was far from being a bad year for business. The U.S. continued to be prosperous; its economy, the abundance of which mankind holds in awe and envy, simply fell short of optimistic expectations. Western Europe experienced its slowest economic growth in a decade-but growth, however slow, remains growth. As William Butler, vice president of the Chase Manhattan Bank, puts it: "Never have so many had it so good and felt so badly about...
