This hearts & flowers campaign does not always fall on unlistening ears. While Foreign Minister Bidault and Premier Laniel were in Bermuda, another party of nine Frenchman, led by a Gaullist deputy named Pierre Lebon, was in Warsaw. Among them: ex-Premier Daladier and Jacques Soustelle, a youngish (41) anthropologist who is one of De Gaulle's right-hand men. They had come, at Polish Communist invitation and in a Polish Communist plane, to see for themselves the Oder-Neisse Line, which separates Poland and East Germany. Their visit, of course, called attention to the fact that Germans...
...star of the show was Norma, a statue by Sculptor Abram Belskie, whose measurements approximate those of the average U.S. woman age 20-24. Specifications: height, 5 ft. 6 in.; weight, 123 Ibs.; bust, 33.9 in.; waist, 26.4; hips, 37.4. As described by Anthropologist Harry Shapiro, Norma, following the general U.S. trend, has greater height, a heavier waistline and narrower hips than the women of previous generations.

When she finds that her potentate has gone back to the Punjab, Ava companionably moves in with Gable, only to have her idyl interrupted by the arrival of a British anthropologist (Donald Sinden) and his aristocratic, susceptible wife (Grace Kelly). On safari, the camera keeps one travelogue eye on natives, chest-thumping gorillas and the lush African landscape, but concentrates mainly on a heavy-breathing triangle involving Ava, Gable and Grace. After 116 minutes, the characters are sorted out again so that...
...exact identity of all the judges is still a secret. Those known to have the ill-rewarding but pleasant job are Dr. Edwin Hunt, University anthropologist, Carroll F. Miles, Dunster House Senior Tutor, and Leigh Headley, Master of Leverett House. Rumors on who the other judges may be range from a noted researcher on female behavior to one of the trainers on a local football staff...
