...Women's Lib leader would envy. Tenor Jon Vickers gave glorious vocal heart to Florestan's piteous degradation. Austrian Stage Director Otto Schenk clothed the production in medieval-dungeon darkness that gave way brilliantly at the end to the blinding whiteness of day-and freedom. Though the Nazi-like greatcoat worn by Pizarro (formidably portrayed by Baritone Walter Berry) was an irrelevant touch, the eyeglasses he took from a pocket-a desk man-were the perfect way to suggest Pizarro as not just a vague, timeless man of evil but the product of a villainous system...
...point during the contempt hearings, anarchy erupted. Three raucous defendants hurled a flag at the bench and screamed: "That's the flag that ought to be there next to you-the Nazi flag!" The disrupters even tore up their contempt citations...
...weird little war movie full of bizarre energy and merciless violence, a kind of Dirty Dozen Reach Puberty. The plot has to do with a group of Italian war orphans who capture a downed American paratrooper (Rock Hudson) and enlist his aid in wreaking bloody revenge on the Nazi occupation forces.

Bonhoeffer's deep involvement in conspiracies against Hitler-in which Bethge also played a significant part -is here fully developed for the first time. So is Bonhoeffer's rather practical attitude toward rebellion: during a German celebration of the fall of France in 1940, Bonhoeffer gave a Nazi salute in a café and urged Bethge to his feet as well: "Raise your arm! Are you crazy? We shall have to run risks now, but not for that salute!" Bethge describes Bonhoeffer's vivid disappointment after a visit to Sweden in 1942, where he asked Anglican Bishop...
