Also Free Wieners. Those who could not get into the Americana (booked solid through January) could try "last year's hotel," the $8,000,000, 350-room Eden Roc, or the $14 million, 565-room Fontainebleau with its $200-a-day suites and two swimming pools which dates all the way back to 1954. Even the "old hotels" like the Casablanca (built in 1951) and the Sherry Frontenac (1948), and even the 30-year-old Roney Plaza of J. Myer Schine,* whose room prices are right up in the top $32-to-$42-a-day bracket, were packing them...

Assembling his Deputies behind closed doors of a theater in Fontainebleau, Poujade reminded them of their pledge to follow his orders: "See, my boys. Now you listen to Little Pierre!" He decreed that all must hand over their Deputies' salaries (about $600 a month) to his "national treasury." He strongly advised them to hire professionals to run their butcher shops, groceries...
...script, by Robert Ardrey, hangs loosely to the novel but with flaunting style, like a merry kilt to Scottish calves. Moreover, Quentin Durward is as easy on the eyes as on the ears. Much of the film was shot around the finest châteaux-Chenonceaux, Chambord, Maintenon, Fontainebleau-and the graces of French stone and green have lent a coquetry and lightness to these scenes that the art and costume people have tastefully maintained...
