...Clad in a snappy suit, Pierre hits the boulevard. He offers to carry a pretty girl's parcels, and they turn out to belong to a fat woman walking behind her. He crashes through the bushes in the park to give a lump of sugar to a poodle on a leash, discovers that the leash holder is walking a baby, not a dog. He prances up behind a sports car to doff his hat to a long-haired blonde in the front seat, only to find that she is an Afghan hound, not a mademoiselle. In a nightclub...

Rise to the Top. Habitually clad in a cassock often topped by a Homburg, and said to have carried a pistol in his robes, Youlou at 46 was one of the world's most unusual statesmen.

Important news is heralded by strokes from an ancient battleship bell-one stroke for bad news, two for good. Last week Lloyd's had some bad news: it suffered one of its worst losses in Britain's great train robbery (see THE WORLD). This week...
Lewis as Kelp is a nimble simpleton. In Professor's nuttiest sight gag, somebody tosses him a pair of bar bells so ponderous that his arms get stretched to floor-length; that night in bed, when his sock-clad feet poke out of the bottom of the covers, a pair of hands reaches out alongside to give them a sleepy scratch. But Lewis as the alter-ego maniac Buddy Love is a maudlin letdown. Starlet Stevens best sums up the trouble: "Just being one person is more than enough for any human being to handle...
