...most controversial projects is the swing-wing F-l l l aircraft, which he promoted as an Air Force-Navy plane that would save $1 billion or more through "commonality." The Air Force model is turning out well enough, but the Navy is still dissatisfied with its overweight version, and the cost is far above original estimates. The computer approach occasionally cut too close to the bone, as when Army requests for helicopters in 1963 and 1964 were reduced, only to cause shortages in Viet Nam soon after...
...Steiner's music cannot be overlooked. In the new six-channel stereo version, this granddaddy of all epic films scores towers higher above its descendants than ever. Discovering the nuances of orchestration is worth the price of admission; even the Wagnerian use of leitmotif succeeds in furthering the picture's emotional impact...

(Actually the score to Anything Goes isn't all that's being heard at Agassiz: several songs, including...
...Exterminating Angel obviously isn't a palace version of Robinson Crusoe's efforts. And as an expose of forced community living, it doesn't go far. The director, Luis Bunuel, rarely shows what--besides distaste--one character feels for another. Adultery seems as interesting a switch as scrambled eggs for breakfast instead of cheerios...
