...film is a work of fiction, rather than the documentary it might have been, and it creaks to beat the band. Writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala tells three stories about Roseland habitues without revealing a valid emotion. The first anecdote, which resembles an episode from TV's old Twilight Zone series, concerns a widow (Teresa Wright) so obsessed with her past that she and the audience see a vision of her youthful self every time she gazes in a mirror...
...began in a holiday spirit as thousands of revelers calypsoed through the streets behind steel bands. Black organizations had signed up 130 voluntary stewards to help keep order, hoping to avoid a repetition of last summer's rioting in which 608 people (including 408 policemen) were injured.

Mary Louise has a sultry approach, the allure of sharing cocktails at twilight, and she is a kind of smoky torch song. Anita Morris is stunningly lovely, with some of the impish mischief of Gertrude Lawrence and a delicate edge of satire in her voice that Porter would have relished. There are 32 numbers in all, and a good half well repay...
