To bolster home defenses, the government ordered 100 supersonic Mirage jets from France and 24 TFX (now known as the F-111A) fighter-bombers from the U.S., plus three U.S.-made missile-firing destroyers and four British Oberon submarines. Last week Menzies carried the beef-up further, announced the reinstatement of the draft, which had been dropped...
...John Mills, 50, a wartime Polish commando, doesn't really need him: as soon as he bought Manhattan's El Morocco (from Edwin Perona, son of the late founder), dozens of friends dropped by for a toot, from venturesome capitalists like Sherman Fairchild to Cinemactress Merle Oberon.

Anna Karina is back, this time a Corsican in frequent deshabille, out to inherit Oberon Manor from a pair of bumbling bachelor brothers. A tubby reporter for True Women arrives: "She looks more like four women," observes little brother. It turns out that "Aunt fell down the well and kicked the bucket," among other calamities. One picturesque heroine and half-a-dozen giggles in Maid for Murder barely rescue British comedy from a stained reputation...
