...Misfire. The camera cannot confront a grown Caucasian without making him a rapacious stock villain, nor can it present the savage as anything but an improbably heroic amalgam of Friday, Chingachgook and St. Francis. A pity. The cast are an attractive lot and, as some lyrically nude bathing scenes demonstrate, Miss Agutter possesses one of the lithest, blithest young bodies on public view. Were the eye the only judge, Walkabout might be considered a treat. But no, Roeg and his scenarist Edward Bond (BlowUp) aim for the mind and miss wildly. Their preachy, anti-intellectual Natural Mannerisms are neither convincing...
...April 7, Kate, a Japanese cameraman, a Cambodian photographer and three Cambodian assistants vanished while covering some fierce fighting on Highway 4. Nine days later, Cambodian troops in the area found the bullet-torn and decomposing body of a Caucasian woman in a shallow grave; their discovery seemed to confirm fears that Kate had become the tenth journalist to die in Cambodia since the war spread there last spring (TIME...

To Ruth, adopting a child is the answer for both single and married people who have decided to forgo children because of their concern about the population explosion. "Form a family...
Jack Jefferson enrages the country not only because he has wrested the title from an Irish-American but because he has acquired a Caucasian mistress, Eleanor (Jane Alexander). A great copper statue of a man, Jefferson cannot be legitimately toppled. But he can be melted down legally. Arrested on a rigged Mann Act violation, the champ jumps bail and flees to Europe. There the bruiser becomes the bruised. The retreat starts in alcoholism and ends in a Budapest café where with aching symbolism he "lawzy me's" his way through the role of Uncle Tom on a tiny...
