Ranked with the leading young British classical actors, Alan Howard plays the title role with hurricane force. While his vocal range is narrow, his delivery of the lines is imperious in tone and cloudless in clarity. Heroic in bearing, he also conveys a sensual relish in the blood sport of war. Best of all, he tempers Coriolanus' abrasive arrogance by showing the soldier's moral consistency. After his mother has urged him to placate the plebs, he counters...
KARIM SANJABI, 73, arrested last week, is the leader of the National Front, the most vocal political force opposing the Shah. A professor of law at Tehran University and an expert on constitutional government, Sanjabi looks more like an elderly businessman than an opposition political figure. He was once a disciple of Mohammed Mossadegh, the "fainting fanatic" who nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.; he served in Mossadegh's Cabinet before the Premier was overthrown by the Iranian army (with CIA help...

Along the way there are troubles with the dogs, cats and humans of a nearby farm, some semimystical encounters with the Black...
...exploit its ability to create the illusion of three-dimensionality, rather like the great tracks through the forests of Snow White and Bambi. Disney's craftsmen might have made better visual definitions of characters-it's sometimes hard to tell one cottontail from another -but the vocal characterizations by such English worthies as Ralph Richardson, Harry Andrews and Denholm Elliott are never confusing. The English pastoral tradition, both in painting and hi literature, informs the movie in a subliminal way that is very attractive. It even makes the largest miscue, a dreadful pop song called Bright Eyes sung...
