Along with City Lights, Charles Chaplin considers A Countess From Hong Kong his best film. That in itself doesn't mean very much; traditionally, film directors either prefer their most recent film or have a tendency to love the disaster, the film Otto Preminger describes as "one's sick child." If you're willing to take the word of the uniformly unfavorable newspaper reviews, Chaplin's preference for countess over his other films can be written off on one of these two counts.

Only a few years ago, such a blunt statement would have sent many Latin Americans into bursts of outrage about Yanqui callousness-and Ecuador's interim President, Otto Arosemena Gómez, 41, indeed complained that the U.S. did not offer enough aid.

In the House last year, only two votes kept the aid bill from being sent back to committee to be cut some more. Now thirty-three members who supported the Administration's proposals have lost their seats. While there is no way of telling how the fifty-seven now Republican Representatives will vote, most likely they will not be very friendly to the bill...
