...movie, though, belongs to 24-year-old Carol White, another émigré from TV. She invites inevitable comparison with Julie Christie; Producer Janni "discovered" both of them, and there is a notable physical resemblance.

When the orchestra trills from one end to the other, you know that Falstaff has just taken a colossal chug of wine which is going to work on his insides; when the trombones blast, you know that Ford is feeling the full gamut of green-eyed emotions, even without hearing him rant about "Gelosia"; and if you are a little pedantic, when you hear the French horns bay, you will think of the cuckold's horns which the anti-Falstaffians are about to plant on Falstaff's head...
