No Holds Barred

The Paris movie theater stands facing Central Park, off Fifth Avenue on 59th Street. Itisina posh section of town, the grand Plaza Hotel on its left, and on the right, within a block or so, the Savoy-Plaza and the Sherry-Netherland. The Paris caters to sophisticates like you and me, highly integrated Negroes in neat Harris tweeds, and that segment of New York society which would not for the world miss the recherche foreign films which our press would not for the world miss reviewing in extravagant terms.

And God Created Woman is such a film. It is French and, surprisingly, in technicolor. In a town whose schools may not post the Ten Commandments on the ground that they are controversial (but where chrome- colored placards of the human sexual equipment abound in sex-education classes), it is safe to predict a long run for it.
