Drama Critic OF The Star

1t is little hard to believe
but comedy relief has arrived
for these moviegoers-and
the stayaways-fed up with
the sordid, sexy and sinful.
Even the French who are
falsely identified with an ex-
elusive concern with the dour
and damning in human be-
hayiour, are participants in
the sudden, possibly tempo
rary, adjustment in cinema
fare. Indeed, the most imagi-
native of the three new and
justifiably popular comedies
among the new picture is
French in origin and flavor.
This one is Robert Dhery's
La Belle Americana" a fresh
and original contemplation of
the impact of an unexpected
American luxury car upon the
lives of humble French
family. 1t establishes M.
Dhery, the creator of the
revue. La Plume de Ma
Tante," as a rival to Jacques
Tati as an enviable stylist in
screen comedy.
Yes, Hollywood Too
The other two comedy tri-
umphs are divided equally
among Hollywood and Eng
land as to geographic origin.
The first has sent us what
is currently the towns most
surprising hit, Lover Come
Back" with Doris Day and
Rock Hudson. England's con-
tribution to Washington's
merriment is a mystery, or
suspense, com edy called
Murder, She Says" with
Margaret Rutherford as its
enchanting elderly heroine.
1t is a pleasure to note
that the public response to
each of the films is encour-
aging. as it has been since
before Christmas to Billy
Wilder's hilarious zone, Two,
Three" The latter, let it
be said, was not unexpected
since Mr.. Wilder is down.

Looking eminently fit in

Love at First Sight
BY PATRICK McNULTY
Associated Press Writer

PARIS. Blond American
starlet Yvette Mimieux says
she wants to take a vaca-
ton from movie making for a
fling at Paris celebrated Sor-
bonnie University.
I'D love to spend a year
at the Sorbonne studying
French culture" said the 90
year-old ex-teen-age fashion
model.
Yvette, passing through
town for a film premiere, said
she first fell in love with the
City Of Light last year while
on a three-month movie 10
cation.
Hollywood Born
II stayed in a small hotel
on the Right Bank and just
about walked my feet off ex-
ploring every Granny Of
Paris" Yvette said. Like
many other tourists, I'm
afraid I fell in love with
Paris at first sight"
That was the first trip
abroad for Hollywood born
Yvette, who grew up in the
shadow Of the movie studios.
Since then, however, she has
made pictures in Italy and
Germany.
I'm one year I've become a
world traveller" she said.
There's a major handicap,
Yvette says. for her plan to
invade the ivy hall Of the Sor-
bonnie on the Left Bank of
the Seine: II don't speak
French"
French movie writer's are
amazed, she reported. when
they learn her knowledge of
the language is confined to
"merci beaucoup.">
"As soon as we're introduced
they begin a torrent of
French" she said. when
they realize I don't dig the
language they shake their
heads and say, but with a
name like yours you must
speak French.
Yvette has a French born
father and a Mexican mother.
The family spoke some Span
ish around the Mimieux casa,
but not daddy's language.
Yvette can rattle along pretty
well in Spanish but her
French is still limited to tour
ist guide books.
She's a Bright Spot
Yvette was in Paris for the
world premiere of 1.-The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse"
The film is a rehash in big
screen and color of the silent
movie that starred Rudolph
Valentino. But Yvette's small
part was a bright spot in the
movie. The role earned her a
starring part with Olivia de
Havilland and Rosanno Brazil
in THE Light in the Piazza. !"
1.-THE Light" was filmed in
Florence, Italy, and from
there Yvette went to Munich,

Loyal to her sister artistes,
Miss Corio spiritedly insists
they weren't to blame for the

These are not superficial
questions and the pictures
charm is its determined reach
into the commonplaces of
life in an attempt to answer
them. It is to the advantage
of LA Belle Americana" that
M. Dhery, a greatly gifted
man, produced. wrote, di-

True or false, there are
those who believe England
has retained its most valuable

mastery of nonsense. Its sense

against ultimate darkness.
The at least relative truth
Of this is stressed once again
in Murder, She Said," a subt-
ly refined farce in which an
outwardly dotty old lady,
Margaret Rutherford, proves
to a skeptical Central Intel
ligence Department that she
darned well did see a murder
committed on a train. 1t is
just the sort of comeuppance
that the nonexpert mass of
us likes to see administered
to the bureaucratic expert.
No one could bring it off
better than Miss Rutherford,
a Coincidence handed down
from one of the vintage years
of English acting and all the
funnier for having taken on
a Thurber-woman shape with
the passage of time.
No one alive perhaps is opti-
mistic enough to believe that
their popularity will see these
comedies create a trend away
from sex and violence in
movies.
They do represent a cheer
full respite, however.

GRANDPA GUPPY

MIAMI, Fla. (AP) = If you see

program undertaken by University

man, say they have found a way
to make fish grow to ripe old age.
They do it by reducing haby gup-
pies food intake and thus suspend
ing growth. Later, when the fish
resume growing, they have h a t
much more time to- live. During
their childish" stage, they merely
mark time, according to the theory.
The scientists are not interested
in producing grandfather guppies.
Their experiment is part of a
