Eventually there will probably be a new Life of Johnson and a definitive biography of Boswell, together with volumes of correspondence and hitherto unknown poems by Johnson, and essays by Reynolds, which are included in the Isham collection.

Past master of the documentary film (MARCH OF TIME, Fighting Lady, etc.) and a vocal opponent of Hollywood's sound stage techniques, De Rochemont set to work on location in Portsmouth, N.H. For his cast he recruited a handful of relatively unknown actors and a group of Portsmouth citizens. For sets he used what "was ready to hand: the chaste interiors of Portsmouth homes and the town's shaded streets, simple hospital rooms, and the squalid streets of Harlem...
