...justification. Seven Beauties stands head and shoulders above Wertmuller's previous work; it is the sort of film that proves conclusively this major director has found her stride. Every aspect of the production, from acting and characterization to her use of color and music, is not only delightful to watch in itself, but also contributes directly to the realization of a coherent vision of undeniable emotional force...

Institutional managers, with nothing to do but watch the tape, trade frequently, knowing that the magnitude of their transactions will enable them to make money on price movements-25? a share, say-that are too small to mean anything to the private investor...
