...turned out, Sophia's yes was one of the few worthwhile affirmations at the festival. Vanessa Redgrave was voted best actress for her performance in Morgan! (see following story). But then, most of the critics agreed with only half of the judges' first-prize choice -Un Homme et Une Femme, a love story with a car-racing background (TIME, May 20.) What disturbed the critics was that the judges decided to split the top award with another film, Signore e Signori, yet another view of middle-class Italian mores by Pietro Germi (Divorce-Italian Style); nor did many...
Another talked-about film was Un Homme et Une Femme, a modest story of a simple love affair between a young widow (Anouk Aimée) and a racing-car driver (Jean-Louis Trintignant). New Wave Director Claude Lelouch, 28, shot the picture in four weeks, at one point had himself strapped with his camera to the hood of a speeding car to get realistic footage of the races. The crusty critics even applauded during the showing, rated the film as an homme-dinger, a top contender for the festival's first prize, the Golden Palm...

...extraordinarily accurate a capella performance of his Mass (1963) by the Glee Club and Choral Society was a pleasurable emotional experience as well as an impressive display of musicianship. Except for one clunker that occured when the singers failed to listen to each other on the Credo "passus et supultus est" and an octave became a major seventh, the Glee Clubs exhibited a professional command of the difficult intervals and harmonies. Unfortunately, the great energy that was consumed in singing the right notes left nothing for interpretation, and the resulting dynamic inflexibility diminished much of the emotional impact...
...Europe and individual guidebooks to 17 nations every year. Unlike Fielding, his books cover the full range of tourism, from historical background to such practical tips as how to kick a hangover in Paris (drink Fernet-Branca) and how to gamble in casinos (for the best odds, play trente et quarante). Trouble is, Fodor leaves the actual writing and research of his books to a staff of 100 contributors, and the results are wildly uneven. He is good on France and Austria, far behind on Portugal and Spain...
