This is a Fellini movie for people who have never seen a Fellini movie. The images spill in torrents from the screen; the air of a carnival turning into a bacchanal is everywhere. So, alas, is the sense of déjà vu. Fellini has taken us all on this guided tour of his tumid nether world too many times before...
...presence of Yul Brynner, the King in both the play and the movie, only adds to the unfortunate sense of dejd vu. The viewer, no doubt like the star himself, keeps expecting his speeches to end in a song.

Okamoto stood before the three-officer court accused in the killing of 26 people and the wounding of 72 others in a terrorist attack at Tel Aviv's Lod International Airport in which his two accomplices were also killed (TIME, June 12). The circumstances, however -a stern tribunal, spartan courtroom, TV lights, well-frisked audience of international journalists-replayed the surroundings in which Adolf Eichmann...
