...haggling over procedure, table shapes, or agenda. On the very first day, the delegates got down to substance. On the table before the ten-nation commission (five Communist nations v. the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Italy) were two conflicting plans.

Encouraged by Critic Khrushchev's generous prerelease publicity and confident of the picture's substantial "production values"-Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Todd-AO, and some fulgid color photography-Fox decided to release Can-Can as a reserved-seat ($1.50-$3.50) attraction, and expects it to do as well as Gigi did on the same basis.
