Other directors sense the farce in the drama of any still picture. Fellini's White Sheik is a parody of the Italian fumetti, romantic cartoon strips with real pictures instead of drawings. But White Sheik was made as a movie, with due respect paid to continuity of motion and thought. Chafed Elbows, whatever it is, has not paid respect to anything...
Redouble the Blood. So far, Britain has shown no sign that it will abandon plans to withdraw its 14,000-man garrison-despite the pleas of South Arabia's Foreign Minister, Sheik Mohammed Farid, who was in London last week asking for at least a token British force to guarantee the peace. Plainly worried about Nasser's intentions, the U.S. State Department warned against "unprovoked aggression" in Aden. A three-man United Nations team is to arrive later this month to explore ways to smooth Aden's road to independence. But FLOSY's Mackawee...
...cars; the country has one of the world's highest traffic-accident rates. Last week, the tiny Persian Gulf sheikdom, whose fabled oil brings it some $750,000,000 in annual royalties, held the second parliamentary election in its history.

...eyeshades that might help them sleep more soundly, some passengers feel long-distance air travel is already sybaritic enough. The airlines, however, disagree; already they are turning their minds toward tomorrow's jumbo jets. And in their visions there are many-splendored pleasure domes that even an oil sheik could envy. "Imagine an airliner with a penthouse-with staterooms or offices," glowed two-page American Airlines ads showing interior sketches for its Boeing 747 models last week. "There will be a spiral staircase to the upper deck, room for a special theater section, and even a drawing room that...
...Zulu tribesman. In Don't Drink the Water, a touring New Jersey caterer (Lou Jacobi), his wife (Kay Medford) and daughter (Anita Gillette) temporarily take asylum in a U.S. embassy in a country much like Hungary. In one extraneous scene, the caterer dresses down an Arab oil sheik for being cruel to his Arab subjects. As the episode suggests, Jews have a slight edge in these comedies, perhaps reflecting the fact that there is a phenomenally low ticket demand for Broadway shows among Japanese gentlemen, Zulus and Arab sheiks...
