The Swimmer
by Thomas Haroldson
Fifth Estate # 59, August 1-14, 1968
Eleanor and Frank Perry, who made “David and Lisa,” have come out with a new film called “The Swimmer.” Although it does not resemble, or live up to, their previous effort, it’s a better movie than most critics would have …
Elvira Madigan
by Thomas Haroldson
Fifth Estate # 58, July 18-31, 1968

A Space Trip
by Thomas Haroldson
Fifth Estate # 53, May 1-15, 1968
I’m afraid that Stanley Kubrick, who directed “Doctor Strangelove” and “Paths of Glory,” has NOT done it again. His new film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” currently appearing downtown at the Summit Cinerama, cost more than 10 million dollars, and dollar …
Belle de Jour
by Thomas Haroldson
Fifth Estate # 63, October 3-16, 1968
