Abortive Attempt. The film is a blend of animation and live action. Like Director Bakshi's previous inexplicable successes, Fritz the Cat and Heavy Traffic, the movie labors under the delusion that outrageousness is a synonym for wit, ugliness of line and color a form of style, crudeness a necessary ingredient of vitality...
...that way. But even if there were a levied quota of movies which one could froth happily at the mouth about (punishment for exceeding quota: a month at Judith Crist's movie camp with continuous showings of At Long Last Love) M. would be a picture to stand by. Fritz Lang's direction turns the cinema into images which fuse with one's own societal paranoia.

Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.), the would-be Democratic front-runner, could set an example in this movement much finer than he has in the last few years, with ceaseless calls for shoring up the "defense" system, not to mention the Saigon government. And President Ford, Jackson's Republican counterpart, could help achieve his expressed desire...
