...parties, abortions and carrot juice squeezers, coffeehouses, Freudian analysts and old young people, everywhere, waiting to be discovered. Mazursky's film is less the personal journey its title suggests than a description of a time and place trapped in its own image. It is a mood piece, soaked in Technicolor's blue, 'fifties light. Like the Dave Brubeck jazz it is scored to, Next Stop emerges super-cool, sophisticated and non-committal...
Director Federico Fellini's movie about the 18th century Italian seducer first ran into trouble last August when thieves broke into Technicolor's vaults and filched three weeks' worth of shooting. Then a strike by the production crew and a case of flu contracted by Star Donald Sutherland caused further costly delays.

Unveiled in all its technicolor gaudiness, Singin' in the Rain stands revealed as an overblown, badly acted, often tedious extravaganza that almost drowns Kelly's perfect little droplet...
...product. Like any kind of analysis, this can easily be carried to dangerous extremes, but applied cautiously and selectively, it can add new dimensions to both the fiction and the reality. A dull life can be suddenly transformed through the prism of fine words and sensitive observations, or a Technicolor-surreal tale reduced to believable black and white when it is seen as a reflection of an actual incident...
