...Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa, a crew financed by mighty Joe Levine is making Zulu. It concerns an incident which was a kind of Alamo in reverse-on Jan. 22, 1879, some 130 British soldiers stationed at a remote mission called Rorke's Drift successfully withstood an attack by 4,000 Zulus. The South African government, eager to see new Hollywoods springing up out of the veld, is earnestly cooperating. It has supplied soldiers, giraffes, prop men, leopards, spears-everything but phalaropes. Director Cy Enfield also called on Dinizulu, paramount chief of the Zulus, and Dinizulu came through with...

Even though that friction can be reduced almost to the vanishing point, the least trace of a rub can make the gyro drift...
...Charrier to play his twisted protagonist brings a touch of spoiled boyishness to a role that might have been merely sinister in more virile hands. Much of the plot is forthrightly told in the first person by Charrier's own voice-an earnest of Chabrol's continuing drift away from the Marienbadian labyrinths and the Breathless ambiguities of some of his fellow New Wave moviemakers. Plain moviegoers are going to like...
