With the help of Cinerama, Metrocolor and Super Panavision, Director John Frankenheimer has captured most of the excitement-and all of the noise-of last year's nine-race Grand Prix competition for Formula One racing cars.

Behind him lay two distinct and finished lifetimes. The nearer one was his 20 years as an emigre Russian in Western Europe, teaching tennis and English, writing more or less autobiographical novels in his native tongue. But the farther distance stood closer to his soul, and it stands there still. That was Nabokov's Russian youth, destroyed after 1917 by the Revolution, and constituting...
