...human greed. Those who were fooled into thinking Wilder had some subconscious joie de vivre underneath his cynicism by his earlier pictures can't possibly believe that after The Fortune Cookie , where he shows us in no uncertain terms how much he despises us all. You don't exactly endear yourself to people if you do the kind of hatch work on the human race Billy Wilder does-and if I were him, I'd move quickly down dark alleys...

With the important primaries over, the search for delegates will shift from the polls to political clubhouses-an uncongenial environment for the professorial Senator...
