...Paris, where people seem more interesting anyway, the superb German film Mon Petit tells a love story--"sometimes funny, sometimes sad"--which is consistently wonderful to watch. From the moment director Helmut Kautner appears to introduce his audience to "out boy and girl" until he walks down the boulevard at the end, his masterful hand changes ordinary into unique, ennui into comedy, sex into lyricism, and Paris into the colors of Cezanne...
Along the gleaming Boulevard Pasteur the luxury shops were empty, and the innumerable stalls of the city's moneychangers were closed in protest. Unexpectedly Morocco's King Mohammed V had issued a dahir (royal decree) revoking the charter he had granted Tangier in 1957 after his government took over the international free city from its eight-nation administration. At the time, the King had promised that the "free market in foreign exchange"-the source of all Tangier's material blessings-would go on as before.

Alone and afoot on Hollywood Boulevard in the small hours, TV's volatile Producer-Actor Desi (I Love Lucy) Arnaz, 42, was collared last month by roving plain-clothes vice squadmen, booked on a "plain drunk" rap.

With each bulletin feeding new totals into Quinn's narrow plurality, came still more excitement. A stocky Portuguese-Hawaiian booster gaily swung the crowd...
...chambermaids were out hunting new jobs. Come fall, bulldozers will grunt across the grounds, toppling the tall cypresses and pepperwoods. Tons of earth will be dumped into the swimming pool in which wobbly guests once cooled their hangovers. Soon, sightseeing buses will drive along the curve of Sunset Boulevard between Schwab's Drugstore and the gabled Marmont Chateau, with rubberneck guides remembering nasally: "Alla Nazimova lived here once. Paramount built her a mansion. The swimming pool was in the shape of the Black Sea to remind her of Yalta, where she was born...
