Is Back
Comic Flair Useful
ToLittIe|s |Topoze'
By jones Rowland

The success story of a teacher
who gains an admirable following
by pilfering public funds rather
than dispensing moral truths is
told through the highly comical
Fernandez in the film "Topaze, ="
now at the Little.
Fernandez, seen here last
month as the priest in "The Lit
tie World Of Don Camillo," con-
tinues to enforce his position as
one of Frances most enjoyable
comedians by prof1ciently timing
his gestures and speech. Behind
his long and full-mouthed face
he rightfully leads one to suspect
a comic wit and cleverness
straining for release.
Marcel Pagnol, who wrote,
produced and directed the French
film, released through Discina
international Films, was wise in
his choice of Fernandez. With
out him the ambling and overly
talkative screenplay would have
choked itself.
AS a law-abiding teacher, Mon
sieur Topaze, FernandeD brings
on his dismissal by practicing
his preachings on the school,
master, his daughter and a
pupils mother.
His next job is acting as a
front, unknowingly at first, to a
politician stepped in graft. When
M. Topaze discovers his real
function, his initial shock soon
eases into complacency. The
facility with which his manipu-
lation of public funds brings in
luxuries and respect send his ego
and happiness to new heights.
M. Topaze. immersed in a new
world of wealth and political
booty. graciously fires the un-
savory alderman who hired and
later tried to remove him to a
teaching post at st. Cloud Col
lege. His feminine accomplice
however, M. Topaze keeps as an
advisor and escort to beautify
his political schemes.
His reputation we'll publicized,
though often not complimentary.
M. Topaze cordially receives
anxious calls from his former
schoolmaster. his daughter and
a fellow scholar. All openly seek
the use of his name and friends
to advance their own ambitious
aims.
The new capitalist fails to dis
courage their requests even after
he confesses his crookedness. To
them, wealth and esteem are
where you find them.
The characters thus set sights
for smooth sailing in a sea of
corruption. The sights of the
theater audience, however, are
anything but smooth as few
laughs accompany attempts to
associate darting English sub
titles with speakers.
Evening star., 1953-08-17

telligence men say Seal Eng
land" or France, or Russia.
Incidentally, when the Rus
sian says it, some traitor an
swers. "It's been sealed for IS
years"
On the whole, the Russians
have not been good for as many
laughs since "Ninotchka." Nor.
come to think of it, have the
British been as funny in a long
time.
1t might be a good idea to turn
off the television set and see for
yourself.

Whiting. on vacation from Hazel
Flagg" for the summer will re-
place David Brooks tonight in
the cast of High Button Shoes"
at Carter Barron amphitheater
Brooks had to desert the
Papa Longstreet role for the lead
in Comm Through the Rye" at
Westport Playhouse in Connecti-
cut. Whiting, for one thing
you may not know about him. is
the Wharton School university
of Pennsylvania grad who went

He has been in everything, with
out a miss. Incidentally, Dor

built such following for her
self in Rock Creek Park-mu-
Sically-will be back for the final

tonight. In an announcement
which specifies Washington as an
early addition to the chain, Gin
erama points out that it's first
production already has been
seen by 1000 900 moviegoers in
New York, Detroit and Los An
geles- And also that it prob
ably will be seen by $4,000, 900
more! :. Gone With the Wind"

that frighten the wits out OF most
people. What two? Why, the
Russians and the atom bomb,
what else?
BY dealing with these in a
spirit of the sheerest nonsense.
"Mf. Potts Goes to Moscow"
intimates that there might ac-
tually be some nonsenSical
aspects to Russian foreign policy
and possibly even mans con-
sternation over what he has been
doing with atoms.
These are no means common
place thoughts on either subject
end it is pleasant to see a movie
that can make them seem so
laughable.
A very capable cast, headed by
Oscar Homolka. George Cole and
Nadia Gray, is obviously de-
lighted by it's work in "Mr. Potts
Goes to Moscow" Most especially
with such dialogue as when Mr..
Potts, mistaken for a traitorous
atom scientist is welcomed to
Moscow with a greeting from
Stain to which he replies:
well, I never"
Or. later, when he insists, II
demand a fair trial." to which
his Russian accusers retort,
you've had it."
Or, still later, when he makes
a reference to "red tape" is
corrected by the Kremlin's man:
1--WE call it blue tape"
It has been a long time since
a movie sound track sounded so
brightly imnish.

mfr. Potts Goes to Moscow"
Is a happy treatment of the old
mistaken identity plot. It's hero,
played by Cole. is a British gov
ernment plumber. a shy little
man who spends his oft-duty
hours working on an advanced
lavatory, not laboratory, flushing
system.

departs on his vacation. A switch
