MEDIUM COOL is dynamite. A loose narrative about a TV cameraman during last summer's Chicago convention, Cool is the most impassioned and impressive film so far this year. Haskell Wexler makes a dazzling directorial debut by fusing dramatic and documentary footage into a vivid portrait of a nation in conflict...

She is too proud to tell the father (Ian McKellen), a BBC TV announcer who was only with her for one gravid night. Apparently she takes a dim view of his husbandly potential in any case, though she likes to gaze at him wistfully on the telly...
