Perhaps Ustinov's pride prevented him from leaving his prostrate body before the audience. Nevertheless, the movie's assertion that all is right in the world seriously vitiates the credibility of the film...

At Budapest's Press Ball last week, young men in stovepipe trousers and girls in daringly décolleté dresses performed a writhing twist that onlookers pointed to with a touch of pride as their own "dirty twist."

We have a justifiable pride in our teams; I hope in the future we may be as proud of our community as hosts and spectators. Dean Monro...
