...Princeton University, physicist Thomas Stix has suggested using lasers to blast the CFCs out of the air before they can reach the stratosphere and attack the ozone. His idea is to tune the lasers to a series of wavelengths so that only the offensive molecules would be destroyed. Admittedly, the energy requirement would still be exorbitant, but Stix believes that a 20-fold improvement in the overall efficiency of this approach could make it feasible. Even so, tens of thousands of lasers would have to be designed, tested and built before the first CFC molecule could get zapped. If this...
Director Blake Edwards is right in tune with human nature and its potential for being mocked. His camera captures the murky underside of Parisian middle-class existence as well as the maddening, busy life of Hong Kong's spaghetti-thin streets. As usual, Sellers is athletic and absolutely absorbing as Clouseau, and Herbert Lom is wholly nutty and pop-eyed as the mad chief of police...
