Georges Bonnemaison, a sportswriter and jazz critic for the Toulouse paper Dépêche du Midi, and his wife Régine venture into Central Park. Apparently expecting the tranquillity of Paris' Luxembourg Gardens, they confront instead bongo drums, tape decks, roller skaters, family picnics and baseball games. "Trap décontracté," says Mme. Bonnemaison, disgusted. Too relaxed. "Everyone does just what he wants!" New York is an interesting place to visit, but although they are amazed to find people actually living there, obviously it is impossible. Mixed reviews, thumbs waggle...
...Gimme the Goods" revives the sad small-time hoods of "Lido Shuffle," still looking for that one last job to put them on Easy Street. This time, the tune is much more funky, a roaring big-band epic that pulls out all the stops.

Stage Director Dexter can take credit for that too, although he has been given some splendid singing actresses to work with - Régine Crespin, Shirley Verrett, Betsy Norden, Maria Ewing. As Blanche, the rich-voiced Ewing emerges as a genuine comer in her blend of inner anguish and, at the end, heroic resolve. In the pit, French Conductor Michel Plasson shapes the music with enough loving deftness to underscore the fact that Dialogues...
...French double kiss is routine, whether on the occasion of being accepted into the Académie Française or greeting a friend. Lately, the French have taken to kissing one another three times, alternately. Sometimes it goes on even longer. Says Régine Temam, a French librarian: "I never know when to stop now, so I just let whoever is doing it decide how long he wants to continue...
