...Though it moves on the tracks of tragedy, for much of its brief length the movie has the exuberance of '50s Italian comedies, with bawdy banter, tabloid stories of decapitations, and a saucy heroine (the Lollobrigida-like Hind Rostom) who tries to evade both the rail authorities and a sullen suitor (played by Chahine).

"I draw her as a female version of Ortega, with less weight and lots more hair...

...Queen.” The Agassiz provided intimacy without sacrificing any of the elegance of the production, a late Victorian spoof on the aesthetic movement. The show opens with 20 maidens lamenting their unrequited love for the “fleshly” poet of the town, the sullen Reginald Bunthorne (Roy A. Kimmey III ’09). Modeled after Oscar Wilde, Reginald’s “weird fancy” had somehow alighted on Patience (Annie Levine ’08), the village milk-maid. But Patience, dressed simply and unadorned, claims that...
