...film begins, a world-famous cellist lies dead, mourned in turn by his critic-biographer, six black-veiled mistresses and his wife. Flashbacks detail the end of the great man's life in a series of slapstick sketches played against the ricky-tick accompaniment of Yes! We Have No Bananas. In the sprawling Villa Tremolo, where he keeps his women (among them such Bergman favorites as Eva Dahlbeck, Bibi Andersson and Harriet Andersson), Maestro Felix is heard but seldom seen. The women are the issue, for the artist's playthings, like his public, adore him, scorn him, help...
...that's all there is to it: an affair pretty much like any other affair. But in his first feature film Director Desmond Davis, a top-tick cameraman who shot Tom Jones and A Taste of Honey for Tony Richardson, has transformed a rather banal business into skillful cinema of sensibility, a warm and witty examination of a young girl changing painfully from a big child into a little woman...

Lobster Pot. Ice exists, of course, because when fat cats want theater tick ets, the price does not matter. So $20, $25, $50, sometimes $100 is paid for a $9.60 ticket. The annual take in ice has been estimated at more than $10 million. Among major icemen, box office employees have always had the longest tongs, which goes a long way toward explaining why they have always behaved with such freezing contempt toward the wretched public that lines up to buy ice-free tickets at the wicket. Brokers testified that they regularly delivered envelopes to box offices containing checks covering...
