...Georgia and the Carolinas. In 1947, he and some friends formed the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing; France was elected president, and there he has remained. The first thing NASCAR did was decree that tracks were to have well-maintained roadways and fire-fighting equipment always on hand.

Writer-Director Claude Berri tells it simply-without jerking a tear, hoking a climax, or ringing in the alarums and excursions that a wartime setting has ready at hand. Michel Simon plays the ancient in a triumph of humorous, humane acting-turning a Sunday lunch into a bibulous burlesque, hectoring his family, grumping at the BBC, and lecturing his little friend on some of the ways to tell a Jew ("They smell bad"). In his first movie role, young Alain Cohen survives country living and the reality of imbecile anti-Semitism with the help of two sharp eyes, an impish...
