...toes aside some of my previous conclusions. I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed, while praying to the same God, with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. We were truly the same brothers, because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude...
...Former Premier Pierre Mendès-France flashes on-screen recalling, in 1969, that during the 1939 "phony war," Paris ladies actually raised money for planting rose bushes along the Maginot Line-to reduce the ennui of the poilus stationed there. German newsreel footage switches from scenes of fresh, blond Wehrmacht soldiers swinging through France in 1940 to captured black French colonial troops, as a Nazi propaganda sound track mockingly quotes Neville Chamberlain: "We and our allies are the guardians of civilization against barbarism."

Then, while Dutch fans clopped their wooden shoes and shouted "Heya! Heya! Ard Schenk!" he covered the 10,000-meter marathon in 15 min., 1.35 sec., an astonishing 22 seconds better...
...human emotions the director builds for his story. The tennis players, most of them Jews, are welcomed into the grounds because of their exclusion from the Ferrara tennis club under the new "Jewish laws." Their mood is carefree, nevertheless, and is echoed by that of their hosts, the blond ice-maiden Micol (Dominique Sanda), and her sickly brother Alberto (Helmut Berger). Among their guests are Giorgio (Lino Capolicchio), a childhood friend, and Malnate (Fabio Testi), a gentile visitor from Milan. Wrinkling her nose at Malnate's Fascist predilection for the workers of Ferrara, Micol returns his appraising once-over with...
