...supports his matchstick characters with the crudest possible symbolism. Rosy breathes and heaves beside a patch of openmouthed lilies as Doryan appears on the hill. Their couplings-and every potentially significant moment in the film -are drowned by the roar of the surf, the creak of windblown trees, the ta-pocketa-pocketa of a British power generator, and an overpowering score.

...week's twelve length victory. Ridden by the insuperable Jon L. Rotz, se will be capably handled. Shuvee will be directed by Jesse Davidson, the 1965 national riding champion, who has rated this filly brilliantly in all her 1969 starts. She dropped a head decision in a sprint to Ta Wee in her first start this year, but has since remained undefeated. The outcome? Watch it tomorrow on the telly.
