Batasi is best when it doesn't take its enlightened spirit too seriously. Sexy U.N. Secretary Mia Farrow (daughter of Maureen O'Sullivan, Tarzan's favorite lane in the Africa that was) turns the coup into a coo with John Leyton, a stranded British private. Flora Robson adds snap as a visiting lady M.P., but the pick of the lot is Richard Attenborough. As a starched and polished relic of the Kipling era, hopelessly out of keeping with the age of Kenyatta, Attenborough turns a cliché into a memorable character sketch-etched most sharply when...

He chatters in the language effortlessly, whether praising the bambinos of a young immigrant mother or joking lustily with a Sicilian metal-worker.

Gas, cigarettes, food; the playboy orders but his companion pays. The young man objects to being used; yet at the same time he knows...
...Yujiro drove away in another car. He has a Mercedes 300-SL, a Japanese Cedric, a Chevrolet and a Fleetwood Cadillac. He also owns two racing sloops, a twin-engined powerboat, and controlling interests in Tokyo businesses with assets totaling $5 million. And, Fujiyama Mia, he is an executive in a firm that plans to bring trading stamps to Tokyo. He formed his own film company last January, and has just completed My Enemy, the Sea, shot on location in Japan, Hawaii and California, and based on the adventures...
