The United States also has

While mastering its internal
problems, the U. S. today con-

He also sees the antiwestern

sees nationalism as a potent

warned. "Unless we conquer it,

T he Communist revolution,
DR.. Younger finds, is filled with

for two long seasons. It Is at
the Apex theater and failure to
see. it would be a serious,
though not fatal, mistake.
M. Dhery is that rare phe-
nomenon, a sunny DISPOSE
toned realist, who thinks that
all Of us are players in the di-
vine comedy who should make
it as delightful as possible. Let
others. literature's grey-faced
ghouls, moan that life is absurd.
To that Dhery's answer is,
"Sure, but what fun"
La Belle Americana" the
creature Of the comedy's title,
is a luxury automobile. 1t is
powerful, long. sleek, converti-
BILE, eats more gasoline than a
French family eats food. Yet
IN a brief interval of owner
ship by a factory laborer, it
transforms a working class
neighborhood into an area of
incredible excitement.
General Motors has lived
and prospered all these years
with no idea it could be so
explosively funny.
4 II II
1t is a very French way in
which LA Belle Americana"
comes into the hands of Work
ingman Dhery. He is in the
market for a motor-scooter
when he finds a newspaper ad
offering the car for a pittance,
the price set by a widow who
must turn the money over as
her husbands bequest to his
attractive young mistress.
Like Jacques Tati's, M.
Dhery's comment on the hu-
man comedy is the funnier for
being slapstick with genuine
substance as its base. The
stuff of life is in Dhery's Ia
borer's pride in the car, and
1nthe ingenuity Of his efforts
and those Of his neighbors-
to support it.
The course Of this struggle
is too labyrinthine to be traced
in synopsis. 1t is full of imag-
nation, resourcefulness the
neighborhood's sheer delight in
the cars beauty, its childlike
Joy in a ride in the country
or through the Bots, it's concern
for where the next franc will
come from to buy the next gal
Ion of fuel.
Contrastingly big and bright
things happen also. A dazzling
car like La Belle can open I'M
imaginable gates and doors;
the gate to a high society
sports car show and the door
to the private office of the
impressed Minister of Finance.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-23

1t can take a man to a world
finance experts meeting, get
him inside, win him the ears
of the great money wizards
whose own conversation sounds
banal as compared with the
practical next-meal wisdom OF
the common man.
M. Dhery's idea is that the
fun of La Belle Americana"
should grow progressively Wild
er and more hilarious. Yet, as
in La Plume" the design of
each capricious sequence is i'm
pressively economical. 1t makes
it's clever point, gets quickly
out of the way for its sue
cesSor.
The Dherys, Roberts wife
Colette Brosset Is his co-star
in the film, have surrounded
themselves with a zestful act
ing company. These latter do
not work for, but with, the
Dherys. They obviously enjoy
themselves. So do their audi
enceS.
