SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 9-11 p.m.). The Endless Summer (1966) is the tale of two California surfers and their travels in search of the perfect wave...
Buckley concedes that he was agitated -but properly so. "My pulse was racing and my ringers trembled as wave after wave of indignation swept over me. And then suddenly Vidal was whispering to me. 'Well,' he said, smiling. 'I guess we gave them their money's worth tonight!' " As for calling Vidal "queer," Buckley apologizes for doing so "in anger," but he still considers Vidal an "evangelist for bisexuality" whose "essays proclaim the normalcy of his affliction and his art the desirability of it."

Perhaps a third more comes from younger Europeans whose dramatic and visual experiments are still more drastic. In all of them the director designed his film form the beginning to end, which makes watching them a grand revelation. To figure out films designed as a unity gives you a new ability to look for meaning in their dramatic construction and visual style, instead of relying entirely on the dialogue and actors' expressions. The variety of dramatic forms...
