...continue its traditional separation of church and state, we had better re-examine the ramifications of electing any more Methodists to high office, what with Oxnam et al. running around Washington like a medieval College of Cardinals selecting a new king...
...Senator Kennedy [who met with 51 Methodist bishops and answered questions on his Roman Catholicism-April 27]. But regret that this feature of a semiannual meeting of the Council of Bishops of the Methodist Church was described as an "odd inquisition." Panel quizzes (Meet the Press, Face the Nation, et al.) regularly bring out sharper interrogation via TV networks.

Were those questions slanted...
...novel (En Cas de Malheur) on which the film is based. Jean Gabin was hired to top the title. Actress Bardot was signed to bring up the rear in the box-office battle. And the slickest of the big French directors, Claude Autant-Lara (Devil in the Flesh, Rouge et Noir), has contrived to combine all these expensive, volatile elements into a smutty story that is technically very well told...
