SOCK IT TO ME! (New Voice). The title song sounds the keynote to the frenzied demands of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, the ear-splitting hot-rods of white rhythm 'n' blues, also known as blue-eyed soul. "Sock it to me, baby, gimme, gimme, gimme," screams Mitch, sounding pretty clear about what he wants. "I'd rather go to jail than to see you get away," he persists. The boys used to call themselves the Young Degenerates...
...less comely than their sisters on white-dominated Tu Do Street near by. The "in" spot in Soulsville is the L. & M. Guest House, a bar-restaurant and record booth run by balding, beer-bellied "Johnny" Hill, 35, a New Orleans Negro and ex-merchant sailor whose menu of "soul food" runs from No. 4 (turnip greens) through No. 8 (barbecued spareribs) to No. 9, "Kansas City Wrinkles," better known as chitlins. In Soulsville, the sustenance is psychological as well. There, no matter how close he may be to white soldiers on the line, the Negro G.I. can get away...
...massive and complicated film. The fifteen minute dance that ends the film is cross-cut with shots of solitary Danglar, not watching his triumphant opening from the nightclub but listening backstage.

At the same time, Renoir makes it clear that the Cancan girls are individuals, not simply submissive to Danglar's way of life. Though we initially question the individuality of people who happily exist as part of the order of Danglar's universe. Renoir knows that commitment...
Though Cordelier's desire to release the suppressed elements of his nature backfires when he becomes irrevocably Opale, irretrievably evil, Cordelier has a realization before his suicide that gives his tormented life some meaning: he learns that his Jeckyll-Hyde transformations have not altered his soul, as they had his appearance and personality. When Opale takes the last deadly dose of the antidote that returns him to his former state, he knows that though he found misery, not joy, in his attempt, his soul had not been submerged in depravity, and will remain immortal when stripped of the polluted body...
...Christian thinking begins by rejecting the Greek dualism of body and soul. The old idea of a soul that departs from the body at death "makes no sense at all," says Roman Catholic Theologian Peter Riga of California's St. Mary's College. "There is just man, man in God's image and likeness. Man in his totality was created and will be saved." Such theologians emphasize God's presence in the world. "God is the source of creativity and change and human selfhood," says Harvard's Harvey Cox. In sum, the process of salvation...
