British films

Those Lips Those Eyes is a sadly stale movie, feebly updated with a little sex and a few four-letter words. Frank Langella plays a second-rate operetta star, doing summer stock back in 1951. He struts, sings, and frets about the availability of good parts, while his young protege pursues a pretty chorus girl. Under the unimaginative direction of Edward Pressman, the tale drags out long enough to incorporate every imaginable cliche. Langella needed a change of pace after "Dracula," but this listless rehash could drive anybody back to Transylvania.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
