The camera scans the Parisian
horizon for a minute, then tilts
downward and follows a cat
scampering down an alleyway into
some dark mid dingy basement.
INSIDE, the cat leaps upon a
colossal bulge on a bed. The bulge
stirs. Two massive hands reach
upward toward the sky, and a
billowing mass of protoplasm
rises and yawns. What is it? The
Collosus of Rhodes, a tame ele
phant, or three people glued to
gether? No, it's Gigot!
Yes, it's "Gigot." It stars ,Jackie
Gleason, was based upon an idea
by ,Jackie Gleason, and has a
music score written by Jackie
Gleason, and if Charlie Chaplin
had never made a film, "Gigot"
Wouldn't no around today.

Arrives ere
Gleason's imitation of Chaplin
is to be admired, however. Even
though the little man's shuffle
has been replaced by the big man's
waddle, it still has that magic
combination of sadness, humor
and irony that made Chaplin a
legend in his own time.
Gigot is a retarded mute work
ing as a janitor in the slums of
Paris in the early 20's. He be
friends a charming six-year old
girl and her not-so-c harming
mother. He desperately tries to
keep them in his downtown flat,
and when the mother decides to
walk out, he reluctantly steals
money from the neighborhood
bakery, later nearly drowns in a
river and gets to watch his own
mock funeral.
A LOT of celluloid has been
through the projector since such
an all out attack on the lachry
mose glands has been performed.
Also, some of the situations are
about as sticky sweet and gooey
as a twelve-ton marshmallow.
But fortunately, most of the
film's rowdy farcial moments
overshadow this main fault in a
generally delightful and senti
mental comedy.
Around the corner, Tony Curtis
in "40 Pounds of Trouble" seems
to be apologizing for his perform
ance in last week's Cossack horse
show, "Tarns Bulba," in which he
showed how much nature never
intended him to act in anything
else by com e d ie s. "Trouble"
doesn't make too much sense, but
the gags come so rapidly that
nobody seems to care. It's now
a truism that the wider the
screen the more meanings the wise
cracks assume.
