Is Paris Burning? 235-1<br />
Puranuiuiit >li(iu:ii I'i .'Minutes Kol. Nov. '66 Roadshow<br />
With Its strong documentary flavor, interspersed wnth<br />
dramatic and human interest touches, this Paul Graetz<br />
production for Paramount-Seven Arts, based on the best-<br />
.sellini; novel of the liberation of Paris by Larry Collins<br />
and Dominique Lapierre. was entirely filmed in Prance,<br />
much of It on actual Paris street locations, and thus has<br />
intense realism and action. With a cast of 16 stars, several<br />
of them lop Hollywood names, the pictiue has a great<br />
want-to-see potential and should do excellent business<br />
in its road.show dates and, later, in general situations.<br />
PhotOKraphed in black-and-white, which gives far greater<br />
authenticity to the superb camerawork by Marcel Grignon.<br />
who received the utmost cooperation of the city officials<br />
and the French government in clearing the ordinarily-crowded<br />
Paris streets. Only a few actual newsreel<br />
shots, including one of De Gaulle entering recaptiu-ed<br />
Paris, have been worked into the climactic action. Well<br />
directed by Rene Clement, from a taut screenplay by<br />
America's Gore 'Vidal and foiu- French authors. Of the<br />
score of international stars, Germany's Gert Fiobe and<br />
Orson Welles are authoritative in key portrayals but<br />
many others have bit or "cameo" roles.<br />

case of the James Bond adventiu'e epics<br />
i<br />
and this followup<br />
to "Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine" is an incredibly<br />
corny and utterly nonsensical spy spoof which<br />
must depend on the boxoffice draw of Vincent Pi'ice. the<br />
original Di'. Goldfoot. and. for the teenagers. Fabian, who<br />
plays a straight role minus singing. The fast-and-furious<br />
action will entertain the younger set. Produced in Italy<br />
by Fulvio Lucisano from a screenplay by Louis M. Heyward<br />
and Robert Kaufman, and directed by Mario Bava<br />
who permits Pi'ice to ham it up to his heart's content.<br />
The wild chases in and around Rome's public monuments<br />
and wide highways, all well photographed in Technicolor,<br />
are hilarious in addition to being pleasing to the eye.<br />
Fabian carries on a romance of sorts with attractive<br />
Laura Antonelli. Susan Hart is seen in the opening flashback<br />
to the earlier "Goldfoot" film and a bevy of scantily<br />
clad maidens also appear. Musical score is by Les<br />
Baxter.<br />
