...rescue with more antistate, antichurch, antedated spoofery than he can gracefully handle. His rhythm is erratic, as though he were trying to make a movie in five or six different styles at the same time, none wholly his own. But even the deadly slow stretches are redeemed by Cameraman Henri Decae, whose breathtakingly sophisticated photography is a show in itself, imperceptibly shaded as the action moves from lush Rousseau tropics to the cabaret scenes that exude a smoky golden haze in which Moreau and Bardot appear like creatures of Lautrec or Degas, ineffably alluring...
...brand new painkiller, says France's Dr. Henri Laborit, dampens the aches and pains of arthritis, burns, cancer, childbirth, neuralgia, rheumatism-just about all the ills the flesh is heir to. Such fantastic claims may sound like the spiel of a turn-of-the-century snake-oil peddler, but the medical community has learned to take Dr. Laborit at his word.

The Colony, he says, can be worse. Best in the city, he insists, is Henri Soulé's Le Pavilion, followed by Joe Kennedy's favorite, La Caravelle. But the man from the Times has a taste that is nothing if not eclectic. He is always on the lookout for a good bowl of chili or a tasty batch of delicatessen chopped liver...
...call attention to the progress of a new management team, France's Bull-General Electric, the giant computer maker, last week arranged a rolling press conference aboard a special Paris-Angers train, brought along President Henri Desbrueres, who answered questions while pretty hostesses plied 93 reporters with smoked salmon, pheasant and wine. Seeking publicity for the Lido nightclub, flamboyant French P.R. Man Georges Cravenne last year invited a chic crowd to an otherwise ordinary première, asked the women to wear evening pajamas...
