...turned the Paris-London-Broadway musical show of several years ago into a raffishly sophisticated screen comedy that makes streetwalking seem almost as wholesome as the 50-mile hike. The score has been reduced to background music, and Wilder has wisely done away with all of the original verr-ee French accents. But he has added an ingredient that was perhaps mercifully lacking on the stage: where the theater's Irma was the only girl on view, the screen now swings with poules on parade-Kiki the Cossack in fur-topped boots, Lolita in heart-shaped sunglasses, the Zebra...
Further Decay. It was Dolce Vita's Fellini who exploited most fully the characteristics that had long since made Mastroianni (Mass-tro-yahn-ee) one of the most popular actors in Italy. His handsome face, young in its outlines but creased with premature wrinkles, has a frightened, characteristically 20th century look-as of a mantis who has lost faith in the efficacy of prayer.

Chances are excellent that Vivaldi, famed 18th century Italian master of the baroque, would be enjoying new popularity with or without Violinist Felix Ayo and fellow members of the Italian string orchestra called I Musici (The Musicians). But I Musici (pronounced "ee Moo-zee-chee") has surely contributed to the boom. And in the process it has attracted an international following that regards it as the best string orchestra in the world. This week the orchestra begins a three-month North American tour in Quebec. Day after day the musicians painstakingly rehearsed-paying the price, said a proud member...
