...this year's entries. There will be one picture each from Russia, Spain, Japan, Hungary, Yugoslavia and Belgium, two from Italy and France, and four from Czechoslovakia, which has lately become a hotbed for avant-garde films (TIME, July 29). Fine, but how many were entries from Hollywood, which makes movies-that-are-better-than-ever? Answer, as of last week: none...
That was curious indeed, since a supporter of the New York Festival is the Motion Picture Association of America, the trade association of the major Hollywood studios.

Biology says that the longer the nurturing period, the higher the species of animal. The quirks in that idea appeal to British-born Novelist Gavin Lambert. He first explored protracted puberty among starlets in Inside Daisy Clover, a barbed novel that Hollywood made into a mushy movie. Now Lambert satirizes the upper-class British male, alternately pampered and scourged in nursery and public school. His hero, Sir Norman Lightwood, is the invincible innocent, a descendant of Paul Pennyfeather who goes unarmed in a world of "pimps and pitiless roughnecks...
