...Tale of Pasionaria. Press censorship also has mellowed markedly. Newspapers are no longer given the old-style daily instrucciones that laid down what stories they could run and even dictated how they should be laid out. Though the country's biggest dailies in Madrid and Barcelona are still subject to censorship, only 15 stories have been doctored by government officials since Fraga took over, and no foreign publications have been seized for political reasons.* In other cities, papers no longer are required to show galley proofs to the censors before going to press.

Voltaire reworked the theme in Oreste, and in Mourning Becomes Electra Eugene O'Neill adapted it to the American scene. In this noble, ceremonious, and sometimes serenely beautiful film. Greek Director Michael Cacoyannis (Stella) has attempted an adaptation of Euripides' Electra. Up to a point, the attempt excitingly succeeds.
