...deeply concerned about this: Mickey Mouse speaking, and walking on his hind legs. I am concerned because I have now seen Walt Disney make Edward Bear speak. Winnie the Pooh does not have a mouth. Once, I remember, Ernest Shepard drew a tongue, very tiny, searching for honey. But Winnie the Pooh does not have a mouth. If only he had spared us that--the scratchy whiny, loud voice...
...perhaps simplistic to speak of Preminger as a determinist, yet running through his work are characters controlled by social and economic pressures, most distinctly by their immediate surroundings. In the early films (Fallen Angel, Angel Face), money, sexual abberation, and class distinction had much to do with the ultimate failure of Preminger's struggling protagonists. But increasingly, external dramatic pressures play a less important part--the determining factor becoming instead Preminger's own camera treatment of space, his cross-cutting techniques, his ultimate vision. No one seeing Skidoo can deny that the Mafia threat (central to the plot) is secondary...
This aspect of Lorraine Hansberry's expanded humanity is enhanced by an interracial cast, in which whites as well as blacks speak for her in the first person - most notably bright, blonde Barbara Baxley and beautiful black Cicely Tyson.

...legitimate to speak of Bergman's players merely as actors. People like Von Sydow and Björnstrand have been with him for over a decade. What the Moscow Art Theater was to Stanislavsky, these performers are to Bergman-ensemble members who function like fingers on a hand. Liv Ullman, newest member of the troupe, is, astonishingly, the best, portraying a whole range of feminine response, from molten eroticism to glacial hate. At the end of his life, Freud wrote: "The great question, which I have not been able to answer despite my 30 years of research into...
...statement to the "Dept. of the Army." In the interests of being accurate with information on a complex issue, it may be useful to point out that the statement was made by Col. Robert H. Pell, Harvard's Professor of Military Science at this time. Col. Pell does not speak for the "Dept. of the Army" on this issue. Here he speaks as a man, a man who has certain teaching and administrative responsibilities at Harvard and who is in the Army. His statement deserves thoughtful attention, but he is not the Department of the Army--a point he would...
