Benjamin and the O'Keefes weave the typical convoluted plot around a medieval kingdom ruled King-James Version (Jon Murad). His daughter, Princess Diana Loneliness (Bart St. Clair) comes home from a "fairy" college (Puck U.) to find that her mother, Queen Anne Sober, has mysteriously died...
...usual with Rohmer's films, the success of "A Tale of Springtime" rests squarely on the actors' shoulders.

The accusers, who agreed not to disclose the financial terms, were sober in victory. Cash "is not a medicine. It won't make any one of us healthy," said Peter Calderone. Porter, now married, out of the priesthood and living in Minnesota, faces sex charges there and in Massachusetts. Last month the sluggish U.S. Catholic bishops made their first joint response after...
