...solution: pop off to the seaside with his rakish Uncle Luc (Rossano Brazzi). In the book, after Luc's wife (Joan Fontaine) discovers their affair, Dominique goes right on with him. On the screen, endowed with an honestly passionate heart and soul, Dominique can only tearfully apologize and slink back to the youthful boy friend. Franchise Sagan doubtless regards the movie with a certain smile...
...Wylie plays an extravagantly dissolute floozie who somehow finds herself in Berlin in 1930, singing for her supper and doing other things for her midnight snack. Sally Bowles is a lady, or used to be; her sophistication is only an extreme from of naivete. Miss Wylie has a devastating slink and drawl for her comedy scenes, and a very effective, throaty half-sob for the serious ones.

Each morning the Russians line up at the barn door of their makeshift prison to watch the animal keeper toss scraps of meat to the ravenous lions, then slink back to their own mess tins of watery soup. Some new prisoners bring with them a cache of cigars-and the idea of bribing the keeper for the animals' rations. Soon the prisoners are eating not only the lions' meat but, somewhat guiltily, the peaceable bears' bread...
Whatever Lola Wants (Sarah Vaughan; Mercury). Longtime top Bop Stylist Vaughan gone pop. The song, from Broadway's latest, Damn Yankees (see THEATER), is a fine, cynical tropical slink, and Sarah's husky tone suits it to the floor...
