...directive was crudely explicit: it is increasingly evident, it said, that smoking is linked to cancer and pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. There is hardly any doubt that the Surgeon General has jurisdiction to issue such an order; clearly, it could not forbid smoking itself or the buying of cigarettes, but just as clearly, it is free to control the handouts that it feels might disturb the health of the Air Force...
...bipolar cause is hardly obvious. The second approach has the advantage of subtly prodding the guilt-consciousness of Representatives or their constituents.

Not so obviously, she is also in love with the hero. Any other questions? The film answers them in passably explicit detail and with a sick romantic energy that Honoré de Balzac, who wrote the tale (La Fille aux Yeux d'Or) on which the film is based, would surely have admired. Like the story the film has style, the grand fantastic style in which, as in a jungle, excess...
