Britt Ekland is a bland Julie Christie. At least Miss Christie is slightly knockneed and her eyes don't water at the sight of a chipmunk. I suppose Miss Ekland--along with automobiles and orgy rooms equipped with Louis Quinze furnishings and electric gimmicks--excites somebody.

His perils and pratfalls as he develops his dubious talents in a flea-bitten acting school run by a haughty, boozed-up impresario (Alan Mowbray) and his daughter (Vivian Elaine) make for broad, boisterous fun. With his syrupy delivery, chipmunk facial grimaces and gift for lighting his own finger instead of the leading lady's cigarette. Arkin is a clownish glossary of theatrical ineptitude. Making his debut, he catapults onstage and swallows his voice whole, but, as his parents rightly say, "he's the best one." Thanks...

Looking like a chubby chipmunk in blue snow pants, the Prince of Wales manfully herringboned his way through his first ski lessons at the start of a ten-day snow holiday in Schuls, Switzerland.
