...felt only in the occasional crack of a sniper's rifle or the firefly descent of flares, but its effect on Ivan and his comrades shows in their gropings for reassurance from one another. Even Masha, a girl medical officer with eyes like a grey squirrel's, helps in her inarticulate way; in one somberly lovely scene, she shyly lets a captain (Valentin Zubkov) pursue her into a forest of birches as the camera, darting on owl's wings, follows them through the receding halftones of black, grey and silver...
...wedding night Puglee (Aparna das Gupta) escapes from Amulya's flower-decked bedroom to play with her pet squirrel; then she throws all of Amulya's precious books on the floor. In disgust he sends her back home saying: "If you write to me as a wife to her husband, I'll be truly happy." But Puglee cannot write. At first she sulks, then she pines, finally she fasts.

Actress Donna Douglas is typecast in the part. A few years ago she was the best hot-pepper eater in Baywood, La., where she also played boys' football, pitched in softball...
Some of the chic clique are turning to other furs, running the range from badger to beaver, squirrel to seal, and including such far-out furs as pony, jaguar and zebra; best-dressed Mrs. William Paley passed up racks of floor-length mink coats last week to buy a simple little number in grey squirrel.
