...through the film is something like holding an elephant on your lap for two hours and 15 minutes. You can hardly measure what you have there, but it leaves a definite impression; it's big, it's warmhearted, and tons of fun for the kids.-See CINEMA, Sawdust Spectacular...
...powered Brabham, to beat Britain's Graham Hill by 41 sec.; at Rouen-Les Essarts. The Californian's victory was overshadowed, however, by the magnificent performance of Scotland's Jimmy Clark, the 1963 Grand Prix champion whose Lotus blew a piston on the pre-race practice lap. Running on only seven cylinders, Clark still leaped into the lead at the start, broke the track record four times, was 161 sec. ahead of Gurney when he had to quit after 30 of the 57 laps...
Where Was Anybody? Gurney had not won a Grand Prix race in two years, and this was going to be a victory worth savoring. On the 28th lap, he blasted around the 8¾-mile course at 137.6 m.p.h.-breaking the old track record by more than 2 m.p.h. Then the Brab-ham's engine began to miss. Gurney screeched into the pits.

...hooch and loves his mistress (Christine Kaufmann) with doglike devotion. Tony is a wolf who hopes to appropriate the mistress. In real life he did: he married Actress Kaufmann while this movie was being made. On screen he has trouble with the watchdog, who 1) spills soup on his lap, 2) contrives to drop a piano on his head, 3) slips him a knockout powder on his wedding night, and 4) fakes suicide to put him in the doghouse. In the end, of course, man beats dog, but only because the scriptwriter is biased in favor of people. After...
