Hardly a promising start for a marriage-or a comedy. But French Director Claude Berri has a singular talent for reconciling opposites. His last film, The Two of Us (TIME, March 8, 1968), was built on the somehow delightful confrontation between an anti-Semitic old man and a Jewish nine-year-old. In Marry Me, Marry Me, Berri finds legitimate laughter in the plight of a pregnant bride-to-be, her philandering fiance, and parvenu in-laws who behave like outlaws...
...have been written only to take a share of the profits made by such stylish thrillers as Point Blank and Bullitt. And it quickly becomes obvious that Director Bernard Kowalski (who also made Krakatoa, East of Java) is not up to that sort of competition. Judged on sheer acting talent, however, Wiseman and O'Neal are equal to almost anything...
...entire race, the horse finished sixth, thirteen lengths in arrears. The loss was not the jockey's fault as the comment was--"well placed, tired." Last week the horse won by twelve lengths against a dismal Rockingham Park field.

Understandably, rock festivals have their failings. Among them: poor sound and visibility; inadequate parking, housing, sanitation facilities, and a mind-boggling plethora of uneven talent, which is often the result of a booking agency's insistence that a promoter has to take three or four second-rate acts to get a good name group.

Instead, the festivals seem to have...
Until the 1960s, Philadelphia was a municipal magazine that never ventured much beyond chamber of commerce puffs. Since then it has developed a talent for muckraking and a willingness to take on just about anyone-even so unlikely a figure as Pearl Buck. There she was, some days ago, a silver-haired, 77-year-old Nobel-and Pulitzer-prize winning author, meeting the press to try to cover up for a colleague. He had been accused, in Philadelphia's pages, of mishandling charitable funds and making homosexual advances to the Korean boys he was supposed to be helping...
