...million people are away from their homes. More than 50% of these have left Germany for Austria, Italy, Spain, Yugoslavia and other points south; 29 flights a week arrive in Majorca from Germany. Half of The Netherlands' 13 million people are out of their country. Some 22 million Frenchmen (46% of the population) continue to insist upon their August vacation despite government plaints that the country can no longer afford its annual month-long paralysis...
Total nudity meantime has become a mass phenomenon. So many Frenchmen want to spend their vacations au naturel that the government has turned over to them most of Cap d'Agde, one of seven resort centers being developed along the "new Riviera" between Marseille and the Spanish border. The Fountainebleau of the bare set is Port Ambonne, a year-old, $4,000,000 complex on the Cap d'Agde, which has its own yacht basin and supermarket for nudists. Families have paid up to $26,000 for two-or three-room condominiums in an amphitheater-shaped apartment tower...

The market has now been moved to more functional quarters in the suburbs, near Orly airport, and a giant commercial center called the Plateau Beaubourg will rise in place of the old vegetable stands. Last month there were demonstrations against plans for an expressway along the Left Bank. "Today for the first time within memory," says Etienne Mallet...
...career should attract such widespread interest reveals our own starvation these days for good clean harmless thrills. (Murder is made actually disgusting in Frenzy in only one shot, that of a strangled rape victim, expired, with eyes bulging and her tongue hanging out). Ignore all those metaphysically-minded Frenchmen who treat even the man's stinkers with respect, and forget the cultists who enshrine his purely technical skills and elevate them to levels of high art. Hitchcock is a popular craftsman, and what matters to him are the tricks which make audiences respond with pleasure. Judged appropriately...
