...Humphrey averaged less than four hours' sleep a night and, seemingly impervious to a steam-heated climate, came up triumphantly talking at each stop. Africans heard his voice even as he flew overhead in Air Force Two. To soothe nations miffed because they were left out of his tour, Humphrey beamed down radio greetings from...
...making home movies. Say, they thought, why not combine the two and make a sort of visionary flick for TV? Fab! Paul directed, Ringo mugged, John did imitations, George danced a bit and, when the show hit the BBC last week, the audience gagged. Titled Magical Mystery Tour after their latest album, the one-hour show was never magical but always mysterious. Try as they might, viewers were unable to divine just exactly what was going on.

Died. Frazier Hunt, 82, who helped cast the stereotype of the dashing, trench-coated foreign correspondent; of a stroke; in Abington, Pa.

Camus' L'Etranger is not a romantic story, and Visconti's slow and disciplined camera-work, though impeccably framed and lit, sometimes lacks the conviction to make it more than simply illustrative. Nonetheless, in the second half, beginning with the beach sequence, L'Etranger becomes a tour de force of subjective camerawork. It uses the zoom lens to juxtapose the moral postures of the different characters, and create a monstrous and disordered world around the anti-hero. Visconti must have chosen to film L'Etranger for strange reasons. He is plainly more interested in the dramatic mechanics...
