...brought to this some well-written scenes and his usual technical dexterity. But even considering how amusing the play can be, and eloquent and skillful, and how well George Roy Hill has directed and Barbara Baxley, James Daly and Robert Webber have acted it, a good deal seems somehow unsatisfying. There is, in the end, too much sense of mere surface, of flare-ups with more theater in them than truth, of Freud pinch-hitting for flesh and blood, of amusing little leitmotivs in place of incisive motivations.

Nowadays, Marianne (married to a Manhattan public-relations consultant, Harold Mantel!) and Barbara (married to a Baltimore hydraulic engineer, Lawrence Holdridge) visit their cluttered Manhattan office only a couple of times a week to supervise some 100 pending releases. For their Shakespeare project, Partner Mantell went to London last summer to round up talent, much of it from the Old Vic and other repertory companies. Their curtain raiser is a moving and brilliant Macbeth, starring Anthony Quayle and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies. The two-hour, two-record production was followed by Othello, with Cyril Cusack and Frank Silvera...
