Weales, Gerald
banished from table and the melted-crayon masterpiece she constructed during her exile in the bedroom -- Fanny has always been something of a martinet and the Gardner-Fanny team one that worked...
...This is not exactly my ten-best list, though there are films on it that would make such a list, if I were drawing one up this year...
...One other difficulty with the play is that it seems to have lost a generation...

...Teachers: David Bryan, Doris Donnelly, Michael Fahey, Reginald Fuller, James Gaffney, Charles Gusmer, Paul Keyes, Dermot Lane, Anthony Lobo, Edward Mahoney, Reid Mayo, Una O'Neill, Pheme Perkins, Alexa Suelzer...
...For one thing, Howe seems to want Painting Churches to deal with change in the social and artistic sense as well as in human terms...
...Michael's College, Winooski, VT 05404...
...Growth in the Spiritual Life and in Prayer...

...banished from table and the melted-crayon masterpiece she constructed during her exile in the bedroom -- Fanny has always been something of a martinet and the Gardner-Fanny team one that worked with greater charm when there are no intruders, not even children...
...Sometimes, even he can't believe his own strength...
...Fees: $105 per credit in 1983...
...There are still many laughs -- and Seldes goes for them in earnest -- but both Fanny and Gardner get angry or pathetic scenes which indicate that growing old is not a joke and the rebellious, loving daughter has her confrontations...
...While a patient at a sanitarium, he is attacked by an assassin into whose eyes he throws a beaker of liquid from a laboratory table...
...The only reaction even more characteristic of Bond than the savoir-faire just described is when he does allow a tiny hint of surprise to creep in...
...This has made him into precisely the steely-eyed, soft-spoken man Miner needs to be...
...It's a story whose pessimism is curiously moving, almost poignant...
...But by coming out of retirement to do this new movie, Connery shows he has Bond's own talent for the instinctively right decision...
...In this column and my next one, which will be my last for a while, I ha~e therefore tried toplay a little catch-up ball...

...He smiles, unruffled, and says, " i t seems we made the right decision - - choosing your room, I mean...
...Yet, the central tension among the three figures is that the parents -- the famous poet and the flamboyant mama -- have so intimidated the child that even now, welcomed by the New York art world, she wants their approval most of all, And she gets in an oddly lyric, slightly wacky final scene in which they dance their way into a Renoir painting after looking at the portrait she has done of them...
...Some scholarship aid available...
...Both are women - - Anne (Julie Chiistie) who goes to India to learn about a scandal her great aunt caused there in the 1920s, and the aunt herself, Olivia (Greta Scacchi), whose story we learn as Anne pieces it together...
...What brings the two men together is that both love a young prostitute (Elpidia Carrillo...
...Granddaughter would be more appropriate...
...Sometimes I go for months without feeling that there's a movie around really worth writing about...
...This slight incredulity at his own escapades is what makes Bond such a durable character...
...Greene's title character is a British expatriate (Michael Caine) living in a South American town to which there moves a doctor (Richard Gere) who is mixed up with terrorists...
...Something of the special chaos of such circumstances is conveyed...
...The dust in Anne's life in India is not only that against which she chinks her room in the dry season, but the dust of the past in which she pokes, and that of her own nature...
...It is difficult to see Mags as the daughter of Fanny and Gardner...
...He lives life backwards, and thereby survives while stronger men perish in a fiasco created by the terrorists...
...Where the play goes wrong, I think, is in the hilarious scene in which the parents discover how tasty soda crackers are and vie for the box with total concentration while the daughter is trying to tell them that she is about to have her first one-woman show at the Castelli Gallery...
...Also: Masters' Degrees in Counseling, Education, Administration, Teaching English As a Second Language...

...Although Mags is teaching at Pratt, she cannot be over thirty, as her description of herself as a young beginner seems to indicate...
...Courses: Introduction to the Old Testament...
...Anne and Olivia play a strange duet across the years, their lives calling and answering in counterpoint...
...The journalists go from their private lives out into the street fighting as readily as the Nicaraguans go about their dally routine amidst the shelling, the patrolling, the door-to-door searches, the rubble of their country...
...Commonweal: 18...
...Farnsworth, who is sixty-eight, does all his own stunts in this movie, l i e ' s done them for others, like Gary Cooper, for as long as Miner has done time...
...What's more, both the old Boston/Pound-Frost parental context and the art world that Mags inhabits begin to seem gratuitous...
...for auditing, renewal, enrichment, formation...
...Thus does the film avoid both the excessive cynicism of a movie like Circle of Deceit and the excessive romanticism of one like The Year of Living Dans In Never Say Never Again, James Bond enters a hotel with a woman and says, "Your room or mine...
