She wrote about American movies, but she also wrote about movies
from other countries as well. mainly European movie... She became well
known in in the 1960's, and wrote until the 1990's...

That was a very enjoyable essay. Back in 1969, when she wrote it, I used to
go to the movies a lot. I don't remember "The Scalphunters," but I
certainly remember "Wild In The Streets" and "2001." Thanks for the link.
