Jimmie Lee Jackson was a $6-a-day Negro woodcutter who lived with his mother, his sister and his grandfather on a patch of red-clay soil outside Marion, Ala. One night last month Jackson, 26, joined a Negro demonstration in Marion. When cops began breaking it up, he and some other Negroes sought refuge in a cafe. State police went in after them.

The separation tugged Jeanne in opposite directions, as indeed it still does: though she sympathizes with her mother, she is her father's child. The only English trait Moreau admits to is a thirst for tea with milk and sugar -as many as a dozen cups...
...every number into a bell ringer, and gives the comedy its zestiest scene when she punctures her employer's vincible mettle with a few white-hot verbal thrusts. As a footnote to Julie's new success, the film offers a wry bit of casting: one minor character, Sister Sophia, is played by Marni Nixon, who dubbed in some of Audrey Hepburn's songs in My Fair Lady...
