...audience shocks as well as yocks. But the yocks are more memorable. They result from slight but sly infractions of the thriller formula. A Russian agent, for instance, does not simply escape through a window; no, he escapes through a window in a brick wall painted with a colossal poster portrait of Anita Ekberg, and as he crawls out of the window, he seems to be crawling out of Anita's mouth. Or again, Bond does not simply train a telescope on the Russian consulate and hope he can read somebody's lips; no, he makes...
Awaited Demonstration. Washington last week launched a poster campaign urging Americans to support the South Viet Nam war effort and stressing the U.S. commitment there. In its way, the drive underlined the fact that, in the end, it is only in Viet Nam that a real answer can be made to Sihanouk and others who think as he does. Only there can the U.S. prove that he is wrong in believing that Red China will win in Southeast Asia-if he is wrong. Troublesome and sometimes irrational though he may be, Cambodia's Prince undoubtedly represents the feelings, spoken...
Captain Newman, M.D. is a colossal, Eastman-Colored recruiting poster that makes a peculiar proposition: join the Air Force and see a psychiatrist. Unhappily, the Air Force turns out to be the same old Hollywood Air Farce; the psychiatrist (Gregory Peck) too often acts as if Captain Newman were Private Hargrove; and the moviemakers seem relentlessly determined to popularize psychosis.

It's fun to be truth-drugged by Psychiatrist Peck, a living doll of a twitch doctor...
MORTON SCHAMBERG-Zabriskie, 36 East 61st. Schamberg was among the steely shield bearers of modernism in the Armory Show of 1913; five years later, in full battle with academicism and only 37 years old, he died in the great flu epidemic. Through art-nouveau poster painting to the plane geometry of the machine esthetic, Schamberg shared his passion for mechanical things and his studio with Charles Sheeler. For the first time since a memorial exhibition in 1919, New Yorkers can view 20 of his paintings, all on loan. Through...
...pungent wit. After a long, meandering preamble, he launched into a lackluster exposition of ambitious government policies for the coming year. "The formula," said he flatly, "is growth without inflation, and the method, acceleration from positions previously prepared." Groaned one Conservative: "God, it's like a Tory election poster!" Twice Sir Alec even made the tactical gaffe of referring to Wilson as "possible later Prime Minister." The Tory benches remained deathly silent while Labor's triumphant roar surged around the slight, pale Prime Minister...
