...resignation of Premier Michel Debré has been long rumored. Physically exhausted by his twelve-hour days as De Gaulle's errand boy, Debré has increasingly opposed, in private, De Gaulle's policy of centralizing authority in the presidency and his ignoring of the National Assembly. In the wake of De Gaulle's overwhelming victory in the national referendum approving the cease-fire agreement with the Algerian F.L.N., Debré argued for immediate parliamentary elections. His point: chances for a Gaullist sweep were now at their peak but would progressively decline in the months to come...

He was careful to send a complimentary copy to his famous fan in the White House. Copies will also circulate in an other place where he has friends - the British secret service. "They tell me," says Fleming happily, "that...
...enter these rooms through the hatchway; the camera hovers overhead like a voyeur, and the four walls vibrate with a new personality. The most fascinating of the four passengers is Pere Jules (Michel Simon), a crusty old naval Caliban who exists totally on a physical level. During one memorable scene he shows the captain's young wife, Juliette (Dita Parle), the souvenirs from his voyages to the South Seas: horns and masks, beads and three satanic cats that jump without warning and perch on Pere Jules' shoulders...
