...Szena Square only a rare pockmark remains. On the corner where the fighting was most savage, an old woman stands, basket in arm, selling hens. On the surface normalcy has returned. Grass and flowers now surround the tree where an AVH (secret police) colonel once hung. Gone from the parks and squares are the temporary graves of the Freedom Fighters. The Russians have made a tremendous effort to dress up the country. As a result, Hungary has been provided with the highest standard of living behind the Iron Curtain-the well-traveled say Budapest lives better than Moscow itself. Food...
Although there is lots of body and little clothing in Jamaica, the choreography seems merely mass-produced, and only mildly erotic. Even bodies cannot hide the basic, familiar fault: the book is hollow. On a tiny island near Jamaica, Koli, the chief fisherman, and Savannah, the most eligible young woman, have a bumpy time getting married. They like each other. They don't. They do. They don't.

...fact seems to be that in its social structure, Greece is none too modern. A Girl in Black is an Ibsenic study of what 19th century Europeans called "the woman question," and from the screen it breathes the musty atmosphere of a long-shut closet-the mid-Victorian kind with a skeleton in it. The main point Director Cacoyannis makes is that "respectable people" in Greece are still locked in the closet of 19th century manners and morals, and he seems to think it high time they broke...
