...Stone aside, there is more talent in Sweet Charity than any other musical film around. Most astounding, perhaps, is Fosse, who makes his directorial debut with this film. As a Broadway choreographer, Fosse has been one of the outstanding conceptualists, blending his distinctive angular vision of the human form with the demands of a specific show. (His peak probably was How to Succeed, in which he transformed his chorus line into a human typewriter.) In Charity, Fosse manages to capture his dancers' frenetic contortions while never allowing the big numbers to crowd the actors off the screen. He also...
...successful that plans are in the works for at least three new clubs, plus resorts in New Jersey, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Mexico and Spain. Hefner's empire earned him and his very few fellow stockholders $6,868,165 last year, after taxes. But for all his alchemistic talent, Hefner's enthusiasm for business seems to be waning. "When a man is in his 40s," he says, "he realizes that there are only so many years in which to do certain things. I have decided that putting my philosophy in book form can wait until...
...inevitable sidekick, Tony (Enzo Cerusico), is a cross between Kookie of 77 Sunset Strip and Chester of Gunsmoke. He doesn't limp like Chester; he just trips a lot over his Italian accent.

The kids, it turned out, could not identify Eddie Cantor or the FCC. The fogeys didn't know an "axe" (a guitar) from a hole in the ground. Mostly the show just proved that people...
Creative Excitement. Between the extremes of Auchincloss and Mailer, Afterwords offers a variety of literary experiences. Wright Morris is vague about the moment when something that is most often called inspiration strikes. "In whatever medium that is congenial to his talent," he writes of the artist, "he painlessly cracks through how things were, to how things are." Truman Capote is more succinct, though no more enlightening, when he records that "excitement-a variety of creative coma-overcame...
...symptom of just how cosmopolitan the modern world has become. Or it may merely be talent. Whatever the cause, John Irving, a young American writer, has successfully created two European characters, set them against a European landscape, and turned them loose in what has always been a typical American literary form-the novel of youthful escape and adventure. From Huckleberry Finn to On the Road, the characters in such stories yearn for joyful freedom; their picaresque progress becomes a disapproving comment on the society they are trying to flee. Forced back into confrontation with that society-as the main characters...
