...Acorn Stakes at Belmont by six lengths, packing 121 lbs. and tying the one-mile track record of 1 min. 34 4/5 sec.-set in 1942 by the famed Count Fleet, carrying only 116 lbs. She followed that up with a ten-length victory in Belmont's 1¼-mile Mother Goose Stakes and a twelve-length triumph in the 1¼-mile Coaching Club American Oaks, thereby becoming the first thoroughbred in history to capture the filly Triple Crown. By post time at the $57,950 Delaware Oaks two weeks ago, Dark Mirage had just about...
...Slot Track. Obviously, solving aviation's crisis will take vast amounts of money for new airports and equipment, and far more aerial traffic cops than the 14,000 controllers the Federal Aviation Administration now has in 340 terminals and 27 centers across...
Some day, perhaps, the air will be fully automated, a three-dimensional slot car track with computer-controlled aircraft shuffling around the sky without crowding or possible human error. Meanwhile, the Senate last week passed a bill exempting the FAA from blanket manpower cuts, enabling the agency to hire 3,627 more air controllers at a cost of $145 million. Once hired, they will take two years to train...
...shots is, successfully executed, one of the great joys of narrative film. When Chris goes to Paul to reassure him in a scene discussed earlier, Chabrol cuts together shots already in motion, joining a shot moving left in a circular are, a crane down from high angle, a forward track moving left, one moving right, and a pull back to wide-angle. The effect is again one of montage--the creation of masterful rhythm from smaller individual rhythms -- and again the illusion gives way to the truth of the image on the film. An eye-opening shot of Paul lowering...
...countless films, and impossible to avoid in those of Francois Truffaut. Soft Skin, Truffaut's best film, integrates into its exhausting spontaneity setups from North by Northwest, and Farenheit 451, Truffaut's worst film, slavishly duplicates shot sequences from all Hitchcock's late work, climaxing in a dreadful track-in/zoom-out shot recreating Hitchcock's Vertigo distortion effect. God knows we can all learn from the Master. Nonetheless, Hitchcock-imitation is not one of Truffaut's more endearing stylistic traits and, light years behind his idol in quality, Truffaut's films have become increasingly insubstantial...
