...made. Actress Moreau and Actor Philipe (who died six months after the film was finished) give formidably accomplished performances, and the script, if it lacks something of the satanic intensity of the novel, is orderly, intelligent and relentlessly witty. Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. Liaisons is not a peep show-women are seen naked in two scenes, but then not much of them is actually seen. What is truly shocking in this picture has nothing to do with sex. It has to do with evil. The two main characters seem to be seducing people, but are actually destroying them. They...
Suggested (though hardly inspired) by Victor Herbert's 1903 operetta, in which Mother Goose was overstuffed with theatrical goodies, Disney's nursery crhymes involve Tom Piper (Tommy Sands), Mary Contrary (Annette), Boy Blue, Bo Peep, Willie Winkie, Simple Simon, Jack and Jill, and Mother Goose herself, along with some ringers called Roderigo, Gonzorgo, Barnaby (Ray Bolger) and the Toymaker (Ed Wynn).

But the passing years have made some changes in the sociology of adultery. In this third film version of the book-Ross Hunter's full-color, widescreen. $2,500,000 overproduction in which the bathrooms look like the lobby of the Beverly Hilton-the fallen woman falls, not into...
...Clips & Peeps. Turning to the press. Paar fingered New York Times TV Columnist Jack Gould as the man who had led the "literary lynching." Noting that Gould had criticized him for interlacing his Berlin shows with commercials, Paar summoned the TV cameras to have a close peep at a freshly assembled collection of pages from the Times, showing ads full of brassieres and what Paar called "crotch shots" of girdles and panties running side by side with reports on the world's most crucial news. Moving onward and downward, Paar tore into the "yellow journalists," attacked the New York...
