...this stage, Kenyatta, Obote and Nyerere are not talking about any political integration. Nonetheless, the Community inevitably promotes closer administrative and political ties. Each country, for example, has agreed to allow workers from the other two states to cross its borders to seek employment without passports or entry permits. The Community will have both a "cabinet" composed of three ministers of East African affairs, one from each government, and a Legislative Assembly that will include nine persons from each nation to enact laws governing services. Though only a modest first step, the East African Economic Community promises...
Considering the varied origins of his non-French-speaking cast, Barrault was probably justified in overstressing the theatrical aspects of the plot with constant stage activity. Bumbry, a rising singer who has created her share of glory at the Met as the villainesses in A'ida and Don Carlo, has yet to master the sinuous individuality of the French musical line.

...movie was both a fond farewell for Katharine Hepburn's old friend and a professional coming out for her niece, Katharine Houghton, 22, who plays the daughter. She has Hepburnesque coloring, high cheekbones and broad A's, and she is far more convincing than most stage daughters. As an actress, she has little to do but bubble with in nocent enthusiasm; Kramer has sidestepped anything as embarrassing as an integrated love scene...
