...real contact with ordinary citizens or confidence in their judgments. Since an assassination attempt three years ago, Diem is constantly surrounded by police; he has neither the desire nor the ability to be a folksy man of the people.

Her delivery is jarring, mechanical, and unintelligent; both she and the director fall even to perceive that the rhythm of "your own most pregnant and voch safed ear" demands that the penultimate word be trisyliabic. Herman Chessid's incidental music is inferior, though his songs are good ("O Mistress Mine" and "Come Away, Death" are fetchingly sung by a boy soprano, David Grees...
