...best, such as Perino's, Scandia, the Bistro and Duke's Glenn Cove. New nightspots are proliferating (the most popular: The Daisy and The Other Place); but there is virtually no such thing as nightclub hopping. The clubs are so far apart that, as Actor Peter Falk complains, "You have to pack water," and Los Angeles is an early-to-bed, early-to-rise town where many executives have to be up in time to tune in with New York's three-hour head start on the business...
...Playboy Club are being fired for loafing. Construction workers have been known to take breaks to play soccer in the street. Automobile sheet-metal stampers linger in their locker room calculating the football pools, while the foreman hopefully chants, "Back to the benches, mates." The title of Peter Sellers' 1959 film, I'm All Right, Jack, satirizing the idleness in "the farewell state," has become part of England's language, summing up all the nation's cosseted, truculent, archaic featherbedding...
From Britain, the Royal Shakespeare Company is bringing Harold Pinter's success, The Homecoming, and Peter Weiss's The Investigation, a courtroom documentary about Nazi war crimes.

Additional foreign works include the 1966 London critics' prize-winning The Killing of Sister George, the tale of a disturbed soap-opera star with an unsavory private life; The Loves of Cass McGuire...
...production genius who gave the world Tammy and a yock-pile of fill'ems starring Rock Hudson and Doris Day, has actually produced an intelligent picture at last. Based on the first half of The Private Ear-The Public Eye, a 1963 Broadway hit by Britain's Peter Shaffer, The Pad is laid out as a parable of friendship. Ted (James Farentino), who considers himself God's gift to the working girl, is a crude dude with a smile like a moonlit mackerel and a little black book that would choke a billy-goat.
