Brown Study. At 45, Franz Josef Strauss is a brawny, brawling bull of a Bavarian who symbolizes the unsettling vitality of the new Germany. Rough, ruthless and flamboyant, he bowls over obstacles in his way like a Tiger tank smashing through a Pomeranian pine forest. He is youthful, energetic, smart, unpredictable, corrosively realistic. Strauss is dedicated to NATO. But he is also proud of Germany's new strength. He demands that Germany get the confidence that dedication and strength deserve. Says Strauss: "Either we are admitted as equal partners in NATO or we are not. You cannot have...
...flip or desperate, as its more serious scenes seem faint. And in time Julie Andrews, however engaging, seems no Guinevere, as Robert Goulet, however nice his voice, was never Lancelot; and King Pellinore becomes a chattering burden in the court and Morgan le Fay a darting disaster in the forest.

Gunnar Fischer, whose careful attention to photographic composition and perfect focussing has always been an aspect of Bergman's best work, has outdone himself in this film. Most impressive are the atmospheric shots at the film's outset and the ensuing carriage ride through the misty forest, immediately reminiscent of the ride to Elsinore in The Seventh Seal, but richer in texture and detail...
