...University of California make more than $3,000 for staying behind to teach summer classes, the average college-faculty member can earn only about $1,300. This is hardly an inducement in an era when a professor can make $70 a day while on a Government-sponsored junket and as much as $150 when a foundation is backing him. The result is that while faculty members once fought over the summer jobs, now there are usually more openings than candidates...

Made In Paris casts Ann-Margret as a pushy little pure girl exploring what she calls her "first big chance" abroad. Playing a dress buyer on a junket, Ann-Margret adapts to comedy by snickering through her lines, but her candy-box wardrobe gets most of the laughs. Sympathetic Dress Designer Louis Jourdan says: "Wild Paris sex is one big cliche. You can have it if you want it-there are specialists who cater to such tastes." Ann-Margret finally settles for the tame American sex offered by Chad Everett, who has Paul Newman's looks, Clark Gable...
