In “The Thrill of It AH, » ‘Univergal has. another entry in the light: comedy vein of such moneymaking. champs as “Pillow. “Talk,” “Lover. Come Back” and “That: Touch of
Mink.” What’s more, this .is. the
best. of the four in terms. of having something more. to say about. con-:
‘temporary life than “gosh, ain't.
love wonderful.” For every now’ and then, in the midst of the domestic absurdity. that serves.as Carl Reiner's basic: plot, he has slipped:
‘in some.. sharp . and ‘substantial:
observations: that American. film audiences’ are’ sure ‘to sense . and appreciate. True, the Ross HunterArwin production: has its flaws but
the combination of . ‘glamour, visual
eomedy gusto, the Doris ‘Day name and. the smattering. of satire. for, the:
‘more discerning customer .alladd: : raphy of Russell Metty, trim ‘edit-.

up to. the . promise of a smash:

Reiner’s scenario, ‘from. a story he wrote in collaboration: with: Larry. Gelbart, is peppered with
digs at various institutions: of mod|’.

gets of his fairly subtle but: telling in assault with the. needle. are tele: vision, Madison Avenue, the ser-CCDG production. Stars Marina --Viadys. ' features’: Jean Servais, + Colette -Duval,: Myriel David: Alain Bouvette. Directed by Robert Darene: Scre«n
