Gratified by this interpretation, the French government advanced the moviemakers substantial quantities of war material, cordoned off large areas of Paris while the cameras were rolling, and sponsored the U.S. premiere. The producers for their part contributed a big budget and a vast cast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Boyer, Leslie Caron, Jean-Pierre Cassel, George Chakiris, Alain Delon, Kirk Douglas, Glenn Ford, Gert Frobe, Yves Montand, Tony Perkins, Simone Signoret, Robert Stack, Orson Welles...
...voice, can now be seen as a deliberate esthetic contrivance. The object? To convey by a massive weight of incident the feebleness of the individual within the com plex web of modern industrial society, technologically sophisticated but barbarous in human terms, its impersonality the enemy of the person. Jean-Paul Sartre, one of the few leftist intellectuals to take any interest in the later Dos Passos, once said of his work: "I know of none-not even Kafka's or Faulkner's-in which the art is greater or better hidden.

His excursions into philosophy, all taken in Jean-Paul Sartre's second-class compartment, begin at the level of the college bull session and follow a descending route. "Coitus interruptus is evil," announces Mailer in the course of a Playboy magazine panel discussion on sex. Food has a soul, he writes; fresh food has more soul than canned food. Terminal cancer cases can be arrested by reading William Burroughs: "Bet money on that." The now-notorious Mailer sense of smell, which got such a bloodhound workout in his last novel, An American Dream...
