On a hundred triumphal arches banners proclaimed: "Egypt, Tomb of Aggressors." "Nasser, Hero of Peace." From radios and loudspeakers all over the great (pop. 2,100,506) city of Cairo, the Big Brotherly voice of Nasser could be heard everywhere...

Chevalier's Paris proved to be not the Folies Bergere, Napoleon's Tomb, the Deux Magots or the Flea Market, just as the ubiquitous Chevalier in Mills's film was not "the one with the lip who sings about love and the beauty of life."
