...audience be able to at least know who is telling them what, so that if they're interested, they can go and check the guy out after the film. If this were a film about South Africa, it would make a big difference if one speaker was Helen Suzman and another Prime Minister Vorster. Political personalities like Kenan and Harkavi are not just ordinary Israelis. They both have very heavy political and ideological stakes in what happens in Israel. Why aren't we at least given a clue as to what interests they may be trying to promote...
...Wimbledon playoffs: Claire Bloom and Jane Fonda with their separate versions of A Doll's House, five versions of The Three Musketeers before the cameras in Europe, and two versions of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra playing London. The more traditional of the two starred Janet Suzman (Nicholas and Alexandra). The other, a full-blast 20th century version, brought Rebel Vanessa Redgrave on stage.

She is called, with a mixture of brutal humor and despair, Joe Egg. She is autistic, beyond help and hope-a child barely aware of her own life who slumps in her high chair like a boiled vegetable...
...perform a couple of vaudeville turns, imitating the Mitteleuropäischer doctor who first diagnosed the child's brain damage and a batty vicar who tries to help. Bates pushes for the comedy as he does for almost every other emotion, and the strain shows. Miss Suzman, who last appeared as Alexandra in Nicholas and Alexandra, is good when Sheila is tough and tart but bad when she is tender. When she recalls finding Joe playing with building blocks in a way that just for that one moment gave faint promise of normality, Miss Suzman recites the monologue...
