...Tati's tribute to early filmland farce, which differed generally from the modern product because it was not altogether unconscious, was apt as well as flattering. Some Like It Hot, unlike most recent domestic attempts, follows the tradition of Mack Sennett and Charlie Chaplin that Tati revered. It's a welcome arrival on the local scene...
Scarcely noticed in the long-swirling debate about how to achieve prosperity without inflation is the fact that since recession-shadowed early 1958 the U.S. economy has sensationally achieved just that (see chart).

It is technically a sculpture--there seems to be no way of getting around that--but it is a sculpture which answers more to the laws of painting than to those of the sculptor. It might almost be described as a three dimensional drawing. Seen as a series of individual figures, the work loses its meaning.
