...camera might not be kind to her. Her strong jaw, aquiline nose, and high cheekbones are riveting, rather than cover-girl cute. Much of her appeal stems from her continuous movements: the shrug of a shoulder, the toss of a stray curl, the arch of an eyebrow. Her hands are especially graceful, whether swimming gently in the air to punctuate her speech, or flinging back a scarf in an Isadora Duncan-like gesture. The interviewer drinks in the entire picture--the jawline, the blacks and purple clothing, the dark eyes set in white skin--and a one-word impression forms...
...incidental grace notes that so enriched Upstairs, Downstairs. The supply of gifted British character actors seems as inexhaustible as ever. John Rapley does several small but exquisitely understated turns as Louisa's fond, henpecked father; his face looks like a suet pudding garnished with two cocktail onions and a stray mustache. The sets are lavish collages of deep textures and polished surfaces, and the outdoor locations seem almost too spacious for the limited confines of the television screen. When Louisa goes marketing, she walks by an assemblage of what appears to be every vegetable in England. The gargantuan Edwardian meals...
Large and small pressure groups or activist groups are exercising their new muscle legally even when they stray beyond the bounds of civility, as they frequently do.

Rather than a traditional dome, MMT's designers opted for a cheaper rectangular Y OF ARIZONA building that rotates with the telescope. A small moat keeps out dust and stray snakes, scorpions and rats. Yet MMT'S most unusual feature is its internal laser tracking system. It enables all six telescopes to follow the same object across the skies with an accuracy of . 1 second of arc, I roughly equivalent to keeping a quarter in the cross hairs of six separate...
...viewer whose mind has begun to stray in this direction reflects that the English title, also, is a bit too mellifluous and easy and that the exquisite photography of interior scenes framed and lit like Vermeer's paintings shows little more than professionalism. The result, though the film is by no means unsuccessful as a whole, is that the actors tremble more than the audience. Passionate gloom haunted Bergman's earlier works, but professional gloom is what is visible in Autumn Sonata...
