...Allied forces returned to the Continent last week to recall their roles on Dday, a quarter of a century ago. Lord Lovat, the commando leader, and General Sir Richard Gale, the British airborne commander, were back in uniform to commemorate the day. U.S. General James ("Jumpin' Jim") Gavin, now a corporate executive and persistent Viet Nam critic, chose to sit quietly in his car and greet fel low paratroopers from his old 82nd and the 101st Airborne divisions...
...latest movie. Vixen, is in the Meyer mold. Once again there is the rolling glandscape; once again, such complications as plot and acting are forbidden. In British Columbia, Canada, a bush pilot spends too much of his time on the wing. In his absence, his wife Vixen (Erica Gavin, 42-24-36) lives up to her name, deceiving him with everyone from a Royal Mountie to the wife of a visiting fisherman (Vincene Wallace, 37-24-35).

The bar is stocked with 116 varieties of liquor, including pisco from Peru, ouzo from Greece, Indonesian arrack, Georgia moonshine from the U.S. and a 140-proof Italian pine liquor, which Fielding says is "really too strong to drink." The basement larder is packed with imported delicacies: pheasant in Burgundy jelly, smoked swordfish, Scotch grouse pâté, quail eggs, Norwegian kippers, whole lychees, albacore tuna from...
Though the film departs considerably from Gavin Maxwell's witty, eccentric book, it does manage to convey that peculiar love for a pet that can amount to an obsession. In addition, it provides the accepting child viewer with the prime requisites for motion pictures: 1) a star with fur, 2) adults who look foolish (as Merrill does when he tries, by flapping his arms, to teach a gosling to fly), and 3) no love scenes except those between otter and otter. The result is little otters, making Ring of Bright Water the best sex-education film ever...
