Missing X. Awaiting the cargo was the Le Baron Russell Briggs, a Liberty ship that obviously had known grander days. Pitted and charred, her hoist no longer works, and big red letters spelling EXPLOSIVES have been painted on her sides. In the early morning hours two gangs of longshoremen reported for duty. They had been given two days of crash orientation on the care and handling of gas. Run through a boxcar filled with tear gas, they learned how to apply atropine (the antidote to nerve gas) and how to fit gas masks. The job was not a lark...

Thus his blocking of scenes, which is heavy and slow, focuses dramatic energy inward onto the relationships of the Essenbeck family. Visconti's mise-en-scene is equally grandiose, incorporating massive interiors and immense spaces. It helps integrate the characters into one pattern of contrary emotional...
