...conciliation is an understanding that conflict is universal, indeed necessary. All living creatures want things that others do not care to relinquish. Without some conflict, there are no solutions, no yin and yang, the classic Chinese harmony of opposites. The humbling fact is that animals achieve such harmony better than humans. Unlike men, animals retain instinctive devices that end their conflicts short of murder. When one wolf defeats another in a fight for territory, the loser commonly exposes its jugular to the stronger opponent-a form of honorable surrender that the winner peaceably accepts without further aggression.

Her squint-eyed search for a false eyelash that has managed to wander to her forehead, for example, is converted into the kind of classic comedy chase that has been absent from films for too long. And they are ably backed by a surprisingly supple comedian named Van Johnson, who seems to be searching for-and finding -a new turn to his long career. Together, the old pros take the surplus corn and, like...
