STILL FROM TIME OF DES IRE

SIDEN-ACKERMAN

MAEDCHEN IN UNIFORM. REGRETFULLY, I WAS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LESBIANISM WHEN I SAW THIS CLASSIC. I SAW ONLY A TEENAGE SCHOOL GIRL, HERTHA THIELE, HUNGERING FOR THE APPROVAL OF HER TEACHER, SPIRITUAL DOROTHEA WIECK. I BELIEVE THE FILM HAS BEEN REMADE RECENTLY, BUT SO FAR HAS NOT REACHED THE USA, SO I COULD NOT REPORT HOW EVIDENT IN THE NEW VERSION THE LESBIAN LOVE-CRUSH MAY BE.

TIME OF DESIRE. I KNOW MUCH HAS BEEN MADE OF THE URANIAN ELEMENTS OF THIS SWEDISH PICTURE, BUT PERSONALLY I COULDN'T SEE IT. ALL I SAW WAS TWO FROLICSOME YOUNG JAMSTERS, BUT I'LL ADMIT IT WAS A TREAT WATCHING THEM HUG EACH OTHER IN THEIR NIGHTGOWNS AND DISPORT THEMSELVES IN THE LAKE A LA BUFFNIKS!

TORST, DIRECTED BY INGMAR "SEVENTH SEAL" BERGMAN, IS, ACCORDING TO THE PROGRAM OF THE CORONET THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD, "THE STORY OF 3 WOMEN AND THEIR STRANGE LOVE LIVES. ONE IS AN ADULTRESS, THE SECOND HAS LESBIAN TENDENCIES AND THE THIRD IS LOVE-STARVED." UNDERLINING
