Strenuous & Serious. Though CBC scorns the rating game,*its prize shows are highly popular. Closeup sends cameramen anywhere (Cuba, Egypt, Taiwan), interviews anyone (Evelyn Waugh, Brigitte Bardot), tackles any subject (homosexuality in Canada). CBC is strong on serious drama (recent example: The Crucible') and occasionally goes all out for esoterica: it spent $147,376 on a full-length production of Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes. On CBC Folio the Winnipeg Ballet and the Toronto Symphony lure more than 1,000,000 viewers. Says CBC Vice President Ronald Fraser: "We do not degrade viewers to a type...
...weeks France's National Assembly has debated the cases of nervous Draftee Jacques Charrier, 23. cinemactor bridegroom of Cinemactress Brigitte Bardot, and Civilian Yves Saint-Laurent, 23, twice-deferred head of Paris' high-fashion House of Dior. Last week France's Defense Minister Pierre Guillaumat himself spoke up: hospitalized Charrier is really "an urgent case for observation and treatment"; willowy Designer Saint-Laurent will be drafted-come hell or high fashion -next September...
...Newton likes the way "his gluttonous eye devours his surroundings in huge optical mouthfuls, and his restless, untiring hand transfers them to canvas with the garrulous enthusiasm of a born raconteur."

...supposedly blase French last week lined up along the Champs Elysees to see the latest movie by Director Roger (And God Created Woman) Vadim, the man who virtually invented Brigitte Bardot. Forgetting France's reputation for tolerance, half the Cabinet had insisted on seeing, and in effect censoring, Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Affairs), based on an 18th century classic novel about what might be called advanced sex education. The frank and cynical description of the affairs of two wideranging lovers-aided by a camera so candid that it sometimes even peeped under the bed sheets-was carefully edited before...
...miles of beach at Le Lavandou were body-covered; the bodies were oil-covered; the oil, sand-covered. At bohemian St.-Tropez, with fewer than 1,000 guest rooms, some 20,000 tourists nevertheless found shelter. Françoise Sagan left for the relative calm of Normandy; Brigitte Bardot was pregnant. Saint-Trop has nearly as many candlelit cellar clubs as the Left Bank, and the vogue has spread along the coast as far as Nice, where the Gorilla Club boasts of stereophonic sound. At Whisky à Gogo in Cannes the doors were locked after midnight, because there was room...
