...conditioner and a very long-lasting deodorant. My armpits never stink. I pay attention to all spot announcements on the radio about mental health, the seven signs of cancer, and safe driving. Yesterday William Hoiden delivered a radio announcement on litterbugs. 'Let's face it,' said Holden. 'Nobody can do anything about it-but you and me.' This is true. I have been careful ever since." The Moviegoer's shortcoming is that if there is anything to say after the characters have acted out this demonstration of emptiness, Percy does...
...Africans; Connecticut is for people who can afford it. That's the moral of this movie, and it doesn't make much sense. But then the movie wasn't meant to make sense; it was meant to make money. It has one major star (William Holden), one good actor (Trevor Howard), one competent director (Jack Cardiff, who did Sons and Lovers), infinitudes of the usual fauna and some spectacular shots of Mount Kenya. It also has a portly, natty, sophisticated Hollywood lion named Zamba, who looks as though he came from F.A.O. Schwarz and waddles like...
Unfortunately, the picture also has a plot that attempts to solve-now really, fellows-a five-sided triangle: 1) mama (Capucine), 2) papa (Holden), 3) a great white hunter (Howard), 4) mama's darling (Pamela Franklin), 5) mama's darling's darling (Zamba).

But when the kid falls in love with a lion, mama figures they have both gone too far back to nature, and ought to go back to the States...
...Unbudgeable. There are two famous Williams in the revised history of Switzerland: William Tell and William Holden. Sometimes Holden is away looking after his hotel in Kenya, but more often he is back in the old canton, cruising around Lake Geneva in his $30,000 yacht or resting in his 15-room lake villa. "I love Switzerland," he says. "Even if the taxes here were the same as in the U.S., I would not budge...
Quicker than he might have thought, Holden is going to be challenged to put up or shove off. Under new, tax regulations effective Jan. 1, 1963, U.S. citizens living abroad will no longer be totally exempt from taxation on money earned overseas. Actually a maximum of $35,000 can still be clear, but that's all. Holden will probably stick by his loyalty to Switzerland anyway. Where else could he have George Sanders, Gregory Peck, Charlie Chaplin, Yul Brynner. Mel Ferrer, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Stewart Granger, Gina Lollobrigida, Peter Ustinov, Noel Coward, David Niven, Jack Palance...
