...racist campaign, was the subdued, even soporific tone of the new Governor's inaugural address in Atlanta. Speaking to a crowd of several hundred-including a little old lady in red tennis shoes-gathered in 32° weather, Maddox, 51, pointedly avoided any hint of bigotry. Promising to follow the progressive policies of outgoing Governor Carl Sanders, he declared: "There is no necessity for any conflict to arise between federal-state authority. We should-and we can-solve any disagreements under the framework of the Constitution, respecting the authority of the national Government, and being ever mindful of protecting...
...enemy who has been brought down but should be finished off to avoid all risks of a future comeback. "Black gangsters" are anti-Mao intellectuals, whose output is likely to be "poisonous weeds."

The plot races from absurdity to absurdity until you really don't follow what's happening--and couldn't care less. Lester realized that it's the momentum of gags that keeps the whole thing going and never has his rapid camera style been put to better use. He manipulates the slaves, eunuchs, soldiers, whores, and patricians in a stylish frenzy, bringing them together for the well chosen musical numbers. These, one might add, are among the best moments in the film...
