...TIME Cover does a disservice to Newark. By featuring Mr. Smith, you have increased a misfit's questionable fame. My children and the nation would have been more enlightened as to man's bravery, honor and humanity had you shown Fire Captain Moran or Patrolman Toto, who sacrificed their lives so that Newark citizens may live free of fear...
...night of rioting, the police were finally given the word: "Use your weapons." As could have been expected, police guns proved much more lethal than those in the hands of Negro rioters. Of those dead by racial violence in Newark last week, only two were white. Plainclothes Patrolman Frederick Toto, 34, a police hero cited for saving a drowning child in 1964, was shot through the chest by a sniper and died two hours later, despite heart surgery. A fireman was later shot in the back and killed. Among the Negro dead were children and women, looters and gunmen...
...only a new director would have the gall to tell it again: the sleepy middle-aged husband, the nubile wife, the young stranger (Henri Garcin).

An actor in the mugging tradition of Toto and Fernandel, Philippe Noiret is excellent as the pawky, paunchy husband; and Catherine Deneuve, as his restless wife, is as light and tart as a lemon soufflé. They and their fellow farceurs prove that in the right hands the flip side of war and the flop side of marriage...
...Whitey but the fight between the different generations of Negroes. Again and again, middle-aged and older Negroes sound the Uncle Tom-toms of caution and restraint (mother to S.N.C.C.-worker son: "You're endangering your daddy's job"), while the kids reject the older generation in toto ("We got to do it on our own; we can't take your word...
Girl-Getters would be a better movie if Scenarist Peter Draper had put fewer words into his characters' mouths. Occasionally, they seem to be speaking less for themselves than for a troubled generation in toto. But Director Michael Winner masks the deficiency, coolly catching the feverish, gotta-keep-busy restlessness of youth on the go. Wherever the action is, from ballroom to boardwalk to a beachside spree in which a bride-and-groom are burned in effigy. Winner gives a commanding end-of-summer air to every moment...
