But he announced a police-state innovation, apparently long planned: a neighborhood spy system set up to "know who lives in each block and what he does." Off went a second bomb and Castro's smile grew wan. "Let us not underestimate the imperialist enemy," he said...
...tilts her vividly sculptured head upward, her eyes wide and her lips parted. Such sensuality is condemned as decadent by many Egyptian classicists. Yet this sculpture has an inherent vibrancy. The youth in the Dattari Statue combines the old and the changing civilizations. Beyond the hint of a smile, his face has been idealized without much individuality.

The smile that reassures nervous males ("It's all right, I'm not real") has never been more dazzling. And the comic counterpoint of fleshy grandeur and early Shirley Temple manner is better than ever. But despite Mrs. Miller, the film is not really good low humor. It is merely good-humored. Co-Star Yves Montand, the French music hall singer, is urbane and masculine, but he seems constrained by a part that requires...
