...Quincy House showed its first X-rated film, The Devil and Miss Jones. Archie C. Epps III, dean of students, thought their choice inappropriate and called the woman in charge of the society to tell her so. As a joke, the Quincy society decided a year later to reenact their feat and show The Cheerleaders, an R-rated, soft-core porno. Epps questioned Keane about the choice, but didn't interfere. This year they continued their tradition and scheduled Supervixens for four showings last weekend...
...ending of The Last Tycoon finds Stahr alone in his office, after being rebuffed by both Kathleen and his fellow studio heads. Voices from the past besiege him. All at once, in the only completely non-realistic sequence in the movie, he begins to reenact the story he told his writer, about a woman stealthily burning a pair of black gloves. The camera cuts to Kathleen, now stealthily burning Stahr's last letter to her. Her husband enters, and she kisses him; but when her tear-stained face glances up, it is Stahr she is looking at. Another cut later...

On our stage, the black-black-actors judge and condemn the white-black-actors and march them into hell. In the world of the theatre as a whole, we the predominantly white audience begin to perceive the actors as a unified group manipulating...
...which Screenwriter Robert Enders subjects them. The movie is cast with a virtual mothball fleet of character actors (Trevor Howard, Christopher Plummer, Richard Attenborough), who are directed by Michael Anderson (The Shoes of the Fisherman) with almost definitive incompetence. One scene alone, in which Miss York is forced to reenact her attack and crawls toward the camera on all fours, squealing like a pig, might stand as a textbook example of unskilled labor...
