Also in the cast are the studious camp follower Roman Polanski (playing a peasant) and the late Vittorio De Sica, who, even acting and primping as broadly as he does, lends the proceedings a few fleeting moments of dignity. Morrissey has little time for dignity, how ever. He has, for the moment, forsaken his customary languor; it is this rejuvenated spirit - perhaps a result of all the blood - that gives Andy Warhol's Dracula its few silly, phantom pleasures...

...celebrating Harry's new mellowness. The movie is fixed in an appealing but minor key because it is imbued with the same kind of sentimentality that Harry has used to coddle himself for so long. It also suffers from Art Carney's portrayal of Harry. He is studious and low-keyed, but his characterization lacks depth and misses the urgencies of old age. Like Carney, Mazursky and Co-Writer Josh Greenfeld are so eager to settle Harry down and give him some sort of peace that they make everything just a little too easy to take...

...their recent records (A, B, C or D). Because each race is restricted to a single class, fans are usually protected from gross mismatches. Tip sheets give not only the dogs' won-loss history, but how each animal has done against particular rivals. With a little luck, a studious and conservative gambler can keep in the black. There is scant danger of fixed races because the dogs are put in an elaborate security area called "the lockout room" well before each run. While in lockout, their color, markings and even toenail tint are compared with the characteristics listed...

...saying that youth will be the revolutionary spark and the essential factor of revolutions, youth will be crucial. Youth is crucial because youth has a clearer conception of life, youth has not surrendered to the vices caused by years of bourgeois prosperity, youths must understand that they must be studious and hard-working. The young person must go to the factory or to the land.
