...president of the American College of Trial Lawyers (1969-70), president of the American Bar Foundation (1969-71). As head of the A.B.A., he was credited with efforts to speed courtroom procedures and to provide legal aid to the needy. All in all, says Professor Jon R. Waltz of Northwestern, Powell is "a very fine lawyer, justified to sit in the seat of John Harlan. For the first time in a long, long while, the court will have a new man who has demonstrated he can work with the law, and that he can do it superbly...

Yet for all the obvious echoes of its superior predecessor, Waltz stands on its own as a sleek and scary piece of movie necromancy...

If the technique is somewhat distracting, at least he succeeds in achieving a good sense of clammy terror. The Mephisto Waltz is not one of those really goose-fleshy horror pictures that make you edgy about opening the front door when you get home from the theater.
