...Adams Art Space. Each piece of visual art was paired with a well known poem that was posted on the wall next to it. Sifuentes uses the visual art to make poetry less foreign and more accessible to students. He notes that the artwork was meant to provide a window into the message and style of the poetry accompanying it, not to depict the poem. “Sometimes people are reticent around poetry,” he says. “We are more visually literate.

...some of the major muggers of international cinema: Mercouri, Akim Tamiroff, Peter Ustinov (who won an Oscar), Titos Vandis and Robert Morley. But the more valuable member is the muscular Gilles Segal, as the acrobat whose job is to be lowered by rope into the hall from a high window, then remove the case, nick the scimitar and replace the case, all without touching the electronically sensitive floor. It's a swell exercise in suspense, and one of Dassin's finest illustrations of men at work, but it doesn't come till 85 mins. into the movie. Most...
