Brustein, Bentley, Kauffmann: together again

Great weekend viewing...

The little known Philoctetes Society here in NYC (devoted to, um, "Multidisciplinary Study of the Imagination") hosted a roundtable last week of three old-time critic legends: Robert Brustein, Stanley Kauffmann, and some guy named Eric Bentley.

I'd say all were octogenarians, but Bentley is in his 90s I believe.

Luckily Philoctetes films and posts all their sessions. So sit back and watch them dish!

I haven't watched it myself yet, so feel free to debrief us here.
