MOST of the year's dozen best movies seemed to come in pairs: two comedies, two musicals, two war films, two problem dramas and a couple of German language pictures. In a class of its own as the year's best film: Director David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai, with Alec Guinness, Sessue Hayakawa, William Holden and Jack Hawkins. For TIME'S complete list, see CINEMA'S Choice...

In the eleven months since he took over the premiership from aging, ailing Tanzan Isibashi, Kishi has set a dizzying pace. Last May he took off for a tour of six Southeastern Asian nations, followed up with a state visit to Washington. Last week Kishi was in the air again, this time on a tour of eight nations, including Australia and the Philippines...
