...Monte Carlo's summer season reached a social crescendo with an anti-polio March of Francs party featuring two hours of husky-throated songs by Marlene Dietrich. But Marlene seemed almost an anticlimax to Poet Jean Cocteau's freshly penned introduction, eloquently recited by French Cinemactor Jean Marais: "Your name begins with a caress and ends with a whiplash. You wear feathers and furs which seem to be part of your body like the furs of beasts and the feathers of birds . . . There comes to us, in full sail, a frigate, a prow's figurehead, a Chinese...
...Silvana Pampanini (37, 24, 36") plays the sort of part Yvonne de Carlo does for Hollywood. The 25-year-old daughter of a Roman typesetter, she stands 5 ft. 8^ in., weighs close to 140, has black hair and green eyes and runs heavily to chest.

In the gilt-and-red-velvet San Carlo Opera House (not air-conditioned), 703 delegates, plus party bigwigs and hangers-on, listened to some 100 speeches over the course of four days. On the top tier of boxes a huge banner read: Il Partito nella Lotta per la Democrazia (The Party in the Struggle for Democracy...
...international film festival in Berlin, all proceedings stopped as three of the world's most sightly actresses-Italy's Sofia Loren, Hollywood's Yvonne (The Captain's Paradise) de Carlo, and Rome's Gina (Beat the Devil) Lollobrigida-got together for the photographers...
