...group of painters-some now familiar to us as secular saints or movie heroes, others still relatively ill-known -who kept venturing out of Paris toward more "primitive" places. Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard ranged among the megaliths, the cold heather and the gaunt folk-Christs in Brittany. Vincent van Gogh pursued what he called "the gravity of great sunlight effects" in Aries...
Giving up hope of Coast Guard help, Verb remembers that St. Vincent Hospital, 15 miles away in Toledo, has a "life flight" Alouette III five-passenger helicopter.

One of the first responsibilities of a director is pace, yet A.T.C. drags at times like a victim of Old West desperados tied to his horse. The dangers of the pregnant pause should be obvious to everyone, but they were not obvious to Vincent--too much weight is given to the significance of the silences. But his work with the actors seems to have paid...
