...working with disillusioned generals and colonels-had paid dearly for their pains. As soon as the news went out that Hitler was alive, the Gestapo began its dragnet Operation Thunderstorm, which brought the number of Germans arrested that year to 33,000. Stauffenberg was shot, and every other man, woman and child by that name was ordered arrested. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel chose suicide by poison. At least 600 men were either guillotined or strangled by piano wire suspended from meat hooks, and their final agonies were filmed and sent to the Fuhrer...
...little practice in tying nuptial knots. So he was understandably rusty last week while presiding at the marriage of his son, TV Producer Humphrey Fisher, 35, to pretty Airline Stewardess Diana Davis, 27. In pronouncing the lines of the Church of England ceremony, he solemnly besought God that "this woman may be lovely" instead of "loving."

Moreover, she tends to squeal when she speaks, and she minces about excessively. Mr. Danielewski is the more successful of the pair. But it takes an extremely experienced artist to direct himself in a starring role, and even then the results usually leave much to be desired. His performance is too subdued, his staging indecisive and vague, and there is far too much stage business. He does...
Beulah Goren did Giovanni's wife, Luisa, somewhat nuttier than necessary, it seemed to me; one should be able to identify strongly with Luisa as a woman whose horror at the senselessness of her son's death has driven her near the brink of insanity--Miss Goren seemed to have tottered over long ago, however, and was therefore merely grotesque. John Kennedy's Tomaso needs to come alive, Carroll Britch's Nicola to die down...
