Rives' posture has been cool and correct. Says one of Sihanouk's French advisers: "America has finally learned to deal with Cambodia with politesse and patience." Not that there is all that much to do. The entire nonofficial U.S. community in Cambodia consists of three women who are married to Cambodian husbands and Joe Foggy, a Negro fighter who has been coaching Cambodian boxers for several years. One of Rives' chief tasks has been negotiating a Cambodian claim for $12 million in damages to rubber trees caused by U.S. planes bombing too close to the Cambodian-Vietnamese...

...mild bunch descends on the cash resources of NATO, which are being moved from France to Belgium via freight train. Three separate elements pursue the loot: a tough Mafioso (Eli Wallach), two French thieves (Bourvil and Jean-Paul Belmondo) and an elegant supercriminal (David Niven) known respectfully as "the Brain...
