...holding out for a fifty-fifty split of the contract, while the Germans argue that they have ordered more of the planes and should get more of the production. Right now the tanks of four nations are facing each other across battle lines: the British Chieftain, the West German Leopard, the French AMX30 and the U.S. M60. The French, whose armaments salesmen are trying hardest, have sold many of their light AMX13 tanks, but are having trouble with the newer AMX30; it has failed to win a clear military endorsement over the Leopard, which Germany has just begun to produce...
...scriptwriters (Art Arthur and Arthur Weiss). They have moderated melodrama to the requirements of realism, and they have punctuated their safari with some glorious fun. The episode in which the friendly enemies get looped on native liquor and then go bungling through the boondocks in search of a lone leopard ("You take uh one on uh lef, pal, an' I'll take uh one on uh right") is one of the sappiest hunting scenes ever written.

...Hollywood moviemakers there are Italian moviemakers who scuttle about the landscape manufacturing folklore. Most of them produce ludicrously crude goat operas, but once in a while somebody really gets Sicily on acetate. Pietro Germi did it once (Divorce-Italian Style); Luchino Visconti did it twice (La Terra Trema, The Leopard); and now Alberto Lattuada serves up ten or a dozen small but gloriously garlicky slices of Sicilian village life...
...first entrance and exit in Broadway's new musical, Funny Girl. In the moment's pause before she disappears as quickly as she came, she leaves an image in the eye-of a carelessly stacked girl with a long nose and bones awry, wearing a lumpy brown leopard-trimmed coat and looking like the star of nothing. But there is something in her clear, elliptical gaze that is beyond resistance. It invites too much sympathy to be as aggressive as it seems. People watching it can almost hear the last few ticks before Barbra Streisand explodes...
