...HEAVEN: People have often made fun of this idea of "ascending into heaven." They have asked whether Christ did it like some kind of bird or aviator. And they have objected that heaven is at the nadir quite as much as at the zenith, and that the ascension should be interpreted in a merely "spiritual" sense. I would not advise anyone to deny this movement from the bottom up. It is not just an illustration. Of course, we must understand the place to which Christ goes, this "right hand of God," is a divine place. Place and time...

...Green Mare (Zenith-International) is what happens when the French take another whack at Fanny. Like that famously funny film first made by Marcel Pagnol, The Green Mare is a comedy of barnyard humors adapted from a ribald but rusé ironic novel by Marcel Aymé. Regrettably, Director Claude Autant-Lara lacks both Pagnol's touch and Aymé's intensity. The Green Mare ain't what she used to be. Nevertheless she is, as the French say, green-which means, as the Americans say, blue. The plot, for example, involves a Rabelaisian family feud...

Dismembered Monastery. At the zenith of his career, Hearst's empire included 26 daily papers, 11 magazines, 13 million readers and 38,000 salaried subjects. He owned mines and ranches in Mexico, $50 million in mid-Manhattan real estate, $50 million in objets d'art (including a dismembered monastery), and castles all over.
