...Guffaw. Both shows will probably roil anew the ulcers of network censors who still fight a Learguard action against TV fare that throws even a risible semblance of reality back at the viewer. That is what Lear's art is about, the guts of the guffaw. Nor will it change. As he puts it: "I consider myself a writer who loves to show real people in real conflict with all their fears, doubts, hopes and ambitions rubbing against their love for one another.

Kubrick evokes 18th century Europe with a historians' eye for detail in his cinematographic version of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel. He succeeds in transporting the viewer to the aristocratic world of the 1760s and stuns us with his well-designed shots of landscapes. But Dinah, the acting! Ryan O'Neal proves three things: first, only one O'Neal can act and her name starts with a T; second, looking pretty is not reserved for leading ladies...
