Following the Lampposts. Customs officials rush to their posts in the airport, smile and wave tourists toward Mexico City. Along the way, brilliant banners flap from lampposts. In town, op-art posters, balloons and signs give a carnival gaiety to the street scenes; many billboards have been papered over to proclaim an Olympic theme: "Everything is possible in peace."

But it is true that Moliere has left somewhat flatter other characters: the attractive Elmire (Janine Souchon), the ingenue Marianne (Francine Walter), her brother Damis (Luc Ponette), her fiancee Valere (Pierre Cpustere), and Elmire's brother, Cleante (Michael Favory...
