Scope and Contents

This eight first page is titled " Dante Down Under II.Leg Up." On the center of the page a review of A TV Dante is collaged from an Australian newspaper. Phillips writes on the left side of the page "Sent from Dante Diary's Australian correspondent June XCI after satellite transmission...." The review for the film shown on SBS was written by Kleu and is extremely positive with a fine synopsis of the plot. Kleu writes "This is, quite simply, the most stunningly vibrant use of television I've ever seen....This production is a television triumph, pushing the medium to the limit. Sadly, only eight cantos were filmed, of 34. But bravo SBS." On the upper right hand side of the page Phillips writes "Now (July XCI) there are new rumblings. First from Ken Thompson saying that A TV Dante is Ch 4's Italia Prize entry..." The background of this page is painted blue with light blue, white centered forms that resemble sea creatures or heavenly bodies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
