...plethora of extra instrumentation helps the quartet explore these comfortable themes more fully than they could in their guitar based pieces. The numerous string parts on "Cry," for instance, cooperate to create an aural combination of soft weeping and more vehement sobs, and add a mournful nuance to otherwise unprofound lyrics. In much the same way, the flute arrangement on "Your Eyes" augments the nomadic gypsy rhythm of the song itself, and horns on "I Can't Wait" mirror the impatience and expectation of the lyrics. Meanwhile, keyboard accompaniment lends an original flavor to the rest of the standard Sundays...
...best measure of our humanity, some thing to be treasured and explored rather than deplored. His way is simply to record in quick sketches each little absurdity his camera catches, give a rueful Gallic shrug and move briskly on. If such a thing is possible, he is profoundly unprofound. People, he says, are prisoners of their generally misinformed ideas about themselves and about what constitutes happiness. But there is a cheery Catch-22: in their waywardness people probably do themselves no more harm, and very possibly less, than if they knew better what they were doing...
...sanity, intact. With this job-orientation, when a critic makes it he'll become unadventurous, and rely on past successes--there's no reason why he shouldn't, except for pangs of conscience. It's no accident that when all the big-timers get together, they form something as unprofound as the National Society of Film Critics...
...gathers that Mr. Cutler's concept of death is merely a scary mood, not unlike the effect of the most terrifying sections of a horror movie.

Yet, in spite of this immature approach to the subject that Mr. Cutler chose to pursue, the last two sections show that he has a fine control of the resources of an orchestra. The orchestral song based on a death...
...Author. Hugh Seymour Walpole, pleasantly unprofound novelist, is the son of an English bishop and feels that Life is earnest. Even in such a holiday tale as this he dutifully wrinkles his forehead, doubtfully wonders about such dark questions as the borderline of sanity, the worth of democracy, Good & Evil. Walpole devotees consider him a good if not a great novelist, a battler on the side of the angels; caustic critics call him pompous and sentimental. Walpole is supposed to be represented in Somerset Maugham's recent Cakes and Ale by "Alroy Kear." snobbish, successful but second-rate English...
