...brilliant ploy. The trial had progressed beyond the point where new testimony could conveniently be introduced; yet no court could ignore this surprise witness. Accepting the prosecution's motion, the judge ordered a new trial. This, of course, would need months to prepare-if it ever took place. Rumors spread that Charles de Gaulle might be less than happy to have the trial commence again, since Dlimi might name the anonymous high-ranking French officials who, according to trial witnesses, gave the go-ahead for French police and security agents to cooperate in catching Ben Barka for the Moroccans...

In Cookie he keeps Jack Lemmon, a funnyman-in-motion who lacks the instincts of a sit-down comedian, sitting in a wheelchair that makes him seem foolish but never funny. With Lemmon immobilized, only a miracle could save the show from being as sedative as Wilder's last picture, Kiss Me, Stupid. Fortunately, something like a miracle is at hand: Walter Matthau. A magnificent comic actor too long misused as a minor cinemenace, Matthau last year played such...
