Glenn Shaw leans back against a huge fallen eucalypt, shaking his head. "I feel no need to go in," he says, black beanie pulled down low against the chill. "I'll just sit here and listen to the scrub." Wind roars in the canopy above and the sullen Tasmanian winter sky threatens rain or worse. In layers of thermals, waterproof trousers and parkas, gloves sodden from slippery branches, Shaw and other members of the local Aboriginal community have scrambled for an hour through steep rainforest to reach this spot in the island's wild southwest. Here at the base...
...there is something not quite right about him. He's abrupt, sullen, illiterate--and he cuts the telephone wires, effectively isolating them. An air of undefined menace begins to steal over the group, especially after Odile, for no explicable reason, yields to Yvan. It's a great scene; he closely studies her by the glow of his cigarette lighter because he has never seen a naked woman before...
...answer is a qualified yes. As Walter Lee, a chauffeur with dreams of starting his own business, a frustrated patriarch in a house full of women, he has an easy naturalism onstage.

The Boeing 757 finally arrived, and at 6:15 a.m. on Feb. 29, Aristide fled the country...
...owns the movie's fingers, and its sullen magic. The part is made for Conried, for whom 1953 was a big year. He had another run-in with a metronome in that year's Disney feature "Peter Pan," where he voiced Captain Hook, and co-starred on Broadway in Cole Porter's "Can-Can"; get the original cast CD: his rendition of "If You Love Me Truly" is a cynical gem. As Dr. T. he has the film's fastest, dizziest, Seussiest song, "Do-Mi-Do Duds" ("do" and "mi" for the notes on the scale), as he dresses...
