Having promised the best film-making of the New American Cinema, Brockman and the Festival directors refused to pay transportation costs of bringing Stan Brakhage and his films from Colorado to New York. This infuriated New York independent film-makers Jonas Mekas and Gregory Markopolous, both of whom led a campaign to stop other New American cinema-makers from exhibiting their films at the Festival. Denied access, therefore, to Brakhage's "Scenes From Under Childhood," and Markopolous's "Galaxie," the best Brockman could come up with were the films of Harry Smith, an avant-garde film-maker of some decades...
Drabowsky was the legendary victim of Stan Musial's 3000th hit, the hit that gave Early Wynn his 300th victory, and the famous homer of Dave Nicholson over the stands in Comiskey Park...

"I always feel I can run faster." So saying, he headed for the Top of the Mark in San Francisco to celebrate his record-smashing victory-only to get turned away because he was under...
...Hines has yet found in him. And the trombone glissandi that accompany his tipsy entrance are a tasteless crudity that should be returned to the vaudeville hall whence they came. Sir Andrew's lines project well from James Valentine's slim physique; and there is a good deal of Stan Laurel in this droll performance. But how could a director be so derelict as to let Toby's suggestion, "Now let's have a catch," elicit at once Andrew's comment, "By my troth, the fool has an excellent breast," with nary so much as one phrase of a catch...
