...including some truly catchy ditties--"The Red Star Is Rising," "Logrolling," and "Body by Fisher" especially. The music is Brian Cooke's and Kenneth Stuart's; only occasionally the conventional hammering accompaniment, it certainly got the largest share of talent in the production. Flexible, dramatic, tuneful, the descriptive words steal the actual flavor; anyway, it pulls together a show that would be limp with anything less. A small band plays it, led by the now notorious Joe Raposo at the piano; and you should watch the workings of Raposos face instead of the stage during the dull moments...
...tail. One fine morning, "without having done anything wrong," a bank clerk named Joseph K. (Tony Perkins) is arrested-or is it all just a bad dream? Two plainclothesmen burst into his bedroom, order him to dress, refuse to say what law he has broken, badger him for bribes, steal his best shirts, subject him to an apparently pointless "interrogation." And then breeze off, leaving K. in a sweat. Were they really plainclothesmen-or were they crooks? Is he really arrested-or is the whole affair a practical joke? "I've done nothing wrong," he reflects uneasily, "and still...
...caretaker of the local synagogue, but he is no sooner out of the synagogue than he is off to steal food from the supermarket. His adventure has all the suspense of Hannibal crossing the Alps. First he jauntily cases the store, pocketing a contest blank: ''Why I like Queen Mist Tuna, in 25 words or less. Maybe I should tell them. Maybe I should write them how to steal from a supermarket.

Garland is good, Rowlands and Hill are excellent, Lancaster has never been better, and young Ritchey lives his role with such empathy that most spectators will simply assume he is one of the real defectives. But time and again the real defectives steal the show. At first the spectator can see only their defects, but at last he sees what lies behind the defects: children much like other children, children who wonderfully touch the heart. At this point. Scenarist Mann says simply and effectively what he fundamentally means to say: "These people have...
...versions appeared the same day at the same price. Dutton, offering the "authorized" version, is paying royalties to the Soviet government. Praeger is pirating the book on the ground that Russia, which refuses to join world copyright agreements, pirates U.S. books. Publisher Frederick Praeger was so excited by his steal that he locked one translator in his Greenwich Village house for eleven days, and moved in two editors, two typists, and "enormous quantities of Scotch." The Scotch did not help. The Praeger translation is much the sloppier of the two, neither of which is Nobel Prize material...
