Much of the information came from a 530-page report prepared by Northrop's auditors, Ernst & Ernst, which started to investigate to comply with a consent decree that settled a Securities and Exchange Commission suit against Northrop. In their testimony, Jones and Executive Committee Chief Richard Millar sought to justify most of the payments as legitimate. In many cases they failed to convince skeptical Senators, who expect similar revelations from other companies. One danger is that in the public view, innocent multinationals will be clobbered along with...

...happen to sing and dance because they feel like it." But this film has neither the substance nor the charm to subsidize that kind of indulgence. A plot it's not got; that would be all right if someone could sing or dance or the images were interesting. Ernst Lubitsch made some of the most marvellous musicals of the thirties with no plot--the films just flowed along. Fred Astaire's movies didn't have to do much at all except display the man who defied all physical laws. But Bogdanovich has succeeded in no corner, and yet acknowledges them...
