...first series to have Negro writers, she doubts that Negroes will be able to identify with her. But she hopes at least that whites will for once see a believable black on TV. Says she: "I'd like a couple million of them to watch and say, 'Hey, so that's what they do when they go home at night.' " Preferential Treatment. The attempt to add black to the TV spectrum is not confined to entertainment shows. Net works and stations all over the country have started a hunt for black reporters, film men and technicians...
...list of jobs that women are doing is almost endless. In Canada, lumberjacks have been joined by lumber-Jills. In the U.S. this summer, the Good Humor man may as often as not be a Good Humor woman. In Europe, women have turned into bricklayers, painters, welders, cabinetmakers, watch repairmen, goldsmiths, pharmacists, chimney sweeps and even traveling saleswomen.

...making. Michel Piccoli and Danielle Darrieux, two of France's greatest screen stars, walk through their parts with characteristic skill, and Darieux, unlike the rest of the cast, does her own singing. Gene Kelly, his face frozen in its 1953 Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer grin, is wonderfully, incredibly, exciting to watch in action. Deneuve and Dorleac as twins ("toutes deux demoiselles, ayant eu des amants tres tot") reflect the joy with which Demy exercises the cinema's glorious potential to permanently trap on celluloid supremely magnificent women...
