...alleged crime centers around Special Forces Unit B57 (code name: "Black Beard") located on Nha Trang airbase 190 miles northeast of Saigon. Like two other outfits (B52 and B-55) operating in Viet Nam, B57 is a Special Forces intelligence unit, commanded by Major David Crew of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, one of the eight under arrest. It was engaged in counterespionage along the borders of Laos and Cambodia, employing a network of 300 secret agents to spot enemy infiltrators, supply dumps and rest camps. One of its top agents was a Vietnamese national with the cover name of Thai Khac...
...point, an outraged swordfish attacked the underwater craft; another time, a monstrous 30-foot jellyfish with four-inch-thick tentacles loomed alongside. Those were only two of the incidents that famed Swiss Explorer Jacques Piccard and his crew of scientists had to report when their 50-foot submarine Ben Franklin surfaced off Nova Scotia after a 31-day, 1,650-mile drift up the Atlantic coast in the Gulf Stream. Piccard and his five companions spoke of massive undersea waves caused by the swirling of the Gulf Stream's powerful current around uncharted "hills" on the ocean floor. Their...
Wexler insists that he will continue to work against the usual commercial grain, using a small crew to give him greater flexibility of movement and lower budgets. "On most Hollywood movies," he complains, "there are guys on a set to shove chairs under you. But that's how I'll keep my independence -I'll never sit down!" Keeping him on his feet (which are rather improbably shod in red and white Swiss-made track shoes) will be a new project about a couple of young college film makers who get an idea to make "the ultimate...
...uninhibited Midwesterner from a solid middle-class family, the girl chooses her professional name, Siam Miami, for its exotic, Oriental and slightly Jewish flavor. But she cannot choose the track she runs on or the sordid crew of middlemen and managers who exploit her. Chief among them is Stewart Dodge, who has 50% of Siam's contract. He also has had her body, and is bent on taking over her soul. In an odd struggle, he almost destroys his singer and nearly ruins his own empire in order to revenge himself upon the one thing he lacks the power...
...large and noteworthy cast, only Bogarde and Philippe Noiret (as a diplomatic attache) manage to survive the confusion with any dignity at all. Worse, there is absolutely no trace of Alexandria itself, that city Durrell called "the wine press of love." Fox dispatched a second-string camera crew for a brisk six weeks' worth of location filming, but Cukor shot most of the picture at home in California-on a set that conjured up visions of Sidney Greenstreet-Peter Lorre North African thrillers. The ersatz locale is painfully obvious. "Justine," wrote Cyril Connolly, "is the spirit of Alexandria, sensual...
