...prizes at the big film festivals and set the turnstiles twirling on the commercial circuits as no Scandinavian film has done since Garbo was a girl. And last week Stockholm was looking aghast at the latest product of Bergman's imagination, a religious horror picture called The Virgin Spring (TIME, Feb. 29) that contains "the most terrible rape and murder scenes ever seen in a film." A Stockholm critic called it "Bergman's best...
Hard Work & Play. Dark storm clouds were gathering over Kenya's lovely land of smoke-blue mountains, deep forests and lush green pastures. For the white landowners, some of them from England's titled families, carving farms out of virgin bush had been hard but rewarding work, producing some modest fortunes. They lived well, and when the sun went down, they played hard. Upcountry, there was cricket, polo, and pink gins on the terrace for the retired military and naval officers, whose modest pensions stretched farther in Kenya than they did in the changing social order back home...
...rank ripped off have lately become familiar sights around Moscow. For the 250,000 officers due to go, the adjustment is going to be tough; in theoretically classless Russia, the officer caste enjoys high status and perquisites.

At her feet kneels the picture's donor, who wanted himself painted as a pilgrim...
More gripping than symphonies and sausages is sex. Through Nunne, Gerard meets Gertrude Quincey, a svelte but fortyish virgin. Her panting, 17-year-old niece Caroline goes to bed with Gerard first, but auntie soon follows. Author Wilson's handling of the love scenes may be summed up in one cozy Briticism ("Her mouth tasted like warm tea"). Some of Nunne's other friends are very different cups of tea, notably, a red-mopped painter named Oliver Glasp, who dilly-Dalis between nudes and Crucifixions. Wilson's defense of such characters is clearly Terence's "Nothing...
