...mechanical wizard named Felix Wankel invented it in 1954, but it took NSU 13 years of tinkering to bring the "Wankel engine" to its present stage.

Eventually, in a scene that is right out of 8%, Fonda perches on a merry-go-round while a robed judge gravely spells out his previous sins and inadequacies. The photographer's camera work is bright enough, and full of tricks, without beginning to suggest the heightened inner awareness...
