What had gone wrong at O'Hare? The 120-ton DC-10 had arrived only a few hours before on a flight from Phoenix. In Chicago it was designated Flight 191 and it took on its capacity load of 258 passengers and a crew of 13. Traffic was backed up at the airport, which averages some two takeoffs and landings per minute. Captain Walter H. Lux awaited clearance and was about eight minutes behind schedule as he got tower approval to roll down Runway 32-R (heading 320°, roughly northwest...
...soon as the plane lifted off ("rotated," in pilot's jargon), a controller in the tower knew that something was wrong. "Do you want to come back?" he radioed the pilot. There was no answer. Captain Lux and his crew were far too busy. The aircraft's left turbofan engine had broken out of its moorings and fallen onto the runway.

More than a decade ago, he gave us a Ulysses that suffered from the same dull defects. But there are, at least some inherently cinematic aspects to that novel, and the director's defects did not appear quite so plainly. In Portrait it becomes clear that Strick cannot even handle straightforward dramatic scenes energetically and forcefully...
