...Cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, "is to pass it on to younger musicians. So many people are now gone-Kreisler, Toscanini, Rachmaninoff-who never had students. This is a great loss." It is also a sad fact that few celebrated performers have much interest in teaching-and fewer still have any talent for it (Rachmaninoff, for example, was a dour, retiring man, hardly cut out to be the Mr. Chips of the keyboard). Fortunately for a few lucky cellists, however, Piatigorsky, 61, has both the interest and the talent. By virtue of his superior musicianship, his good humor and infectious love...

...worst, Cloportes is a squashy but grimly amusing study of insect behavior. At best, it pins down some first-rate talent. France's Singing Idol Charles Aznavour wryly impersonates a crook-turned-cultist whose swami act is last seen floating in the Seine, and Veteran Actress Françhise Rosay rabbets in some surprises as a hardened crone who rents out high-powered burglary tools by the hour. Any doubt that the female is the deadlier of the species is dispelled by shapely Irina Demick, who shows up rather late as an art gallery receptionist all abustle with...
