July, Boys. Luchino Visconti (Rocco and His Brothers) directed German Actress Romy Schneider as the wife of a titled amorist who goes for $1,000-a-night call girls and has a bottomless exchequer to assure his supply. His wife decides to leave him, but tells him dryly that he can have her any time he wants her for $600 (she discounts the madam's $400 cut). The segment ends with the wife sadly undressing as the husband pantingly writes out a check...

...Bette Davis) is the recently widowed proprietor of the hotel, a spitfire sensualist who regards her unbuttoned-to-the-waist body as her soul. T. Lawrence Shannon (Patrick O'Neal) is an alcoholic, defrocked minister who herds lady-tourists off the guidebook route, but is himself spooked by bottomless guilt.

Crockery smashes, airplanes crash, cocked pistols emerge from portable Turkish baths...

...utters a prayer, sings a song, chews the nostalgic cud of memory. Actress Ruth White, though she plays her role with more gallantry than Beckett's morgue-attendant austerities call for, stars vocally: she croons, keens, gurgles, fumes and screams at her all-but-silent partner. A bottomless black shopping bag provides the day's events. Finding a toothbrush, she brushes her teeth punctiliously. She swigs some pink pep medicine, kisses an evilly glinting revolver and dons a perkily feathered hat. "These things tide one over," she says. Her talkfest acquires a haunting reflective cadence as it flows...

...Stimulator. To all this, and to the momentous question marks of the cold war. Bob McNamara has brought a penetrating mind and bottomless vigor. Says he: "I see my position as being that of a leader, not a judge. I'm here to originate, to stimulate new ideas and programs, and not just to adjudicate arguments. You've got to do things differently or else you're not improving them." Up at 6 a.m., and in the office at 7:10 six days a week, he puts in chock-full twelve-hour days, moves fast...
