...seats in the new National Assembly, Nyerere believes that multiracialism is a sound policy for the emerging African states, has kept as his closest advisers former Governor Sir Richard Turnbull, who is now Governor General, and Finance Minister Sir Ernest Vasey. "Both the color of a man's skin and his country of origin," says Nyerere, "are irrelevant to his rights and duties as a citizen...

Actress Seberg achieves exactly the right matte shade of skin, the look of slightly tainted meat that suggests and ever so slightly caricatures the girl who sleeps around. Actor Perier interprets to absurd perfection the sort of paterfamiliarity that breeds contempt. And Actor Cassel flutters across the screen with the abandon of a butterfly that, without hope of heaven, can at best expect to spend eternity in a cocktail tray...
