...lost in the desert and is rescued by Bedouins. One young actress, Evelyne Bouix, looks the fitting image of Aimee; another, Marie-Sophie Pochat, weeps becomingly.

...regular guests, Entertainer Lola Heatherton, whose specialty is a piercing rendition of New York, New York, and Funnyman Bobby Bittman, whose jokes are as tarnished as his gold chains; and The Great White North, a public service program in which two dim-bulb brothers, Bob and Doug McKenzie, swill brew, cook back bacon and discuss such issues as the lack of parking space at doughnut restaurants...
