...bring home the 1,500-man Philippine civic-action group. He will put the men to work in the impoverished central Luzon, where the Huk guerrillas still remain troublesome. No longer the fiery Communists that they were in the insurrection of the 1950s, the Huks have turned to Mafia-style extortion, which Marcos hopes he can counter with a program of better law enforcement and increased hopes for a better life...

The control Ophuls maintains over this feeling makes La Ronde a perfect work. Never does he impose an attitude or an emotion upon his audience. His style rather becomes a persuasive totality which reveals itself to us as art while showing us particular loves...
