�e Initx know that 1 leve
She: No. I done, (Aside) Has
Time caught up with me? Al-
ready?
Thus the dialogue between In-
grid Bergman and Yves Mon -
land, on a brightly lit set at the
Boulogne Audios outside Paris
recently. In Miss Bergman's filet
snovie in two years, she plays a
40 -year-old woman who sud-
denly finds herself losing her'
;over in the film version of
Frangoise Sagan's novel "Aimee,
vous Brahms."
No matter what the script or
Miss Bergman herself said, it
was clear that time, far from
catching up on the great ac -
trees, had not even been gaining.
Now 43 ("I'll probably have to
start hiding my age — it's too
late already, I'm afraid.") and
thinner ("I've had to add des-
serts to keep my skirt me"),
Miss Bergman was as lovely as,
over — and still the center of
fascinated attention from her
co-workers, even when she wee
not in front of the cameras.
On the sidelines as a specta-
tor, Yul Brynner, carrying sev.
;oral cameras and pursuing his
hobby of still photography,
watched the Bergman-Mentand
love scene admiringly, "She is
always so beautiful," he said.
"She claims she has a couple
of bad angles and kids herself
about them, but those angles are
hard to find. She is fabulous to
1photograph."
When the scene was finished,
to -star Montand strolled over.
"I have never found an actress
who disappointed me yet, but
Bergman has that extra quality
tai internal wealth," he said, still
watching her across the set.
"She tries to achieve absolute
truth in her acting, She has a
terrific sense of her profession,
but professional skill alone is
cold. Hers disappears, and what
you see is fresh and easy. That's
very difficult."
A few minute later, attacking
a lunch of raw vegetable salad,
hamburger steak, apple pie, and
toffee'Miss Bergman was ask-
ed about her film. "The screen-
play sticks very close to the:
novel, and you know how good
Sagan is at describing what's go-
ing on inside a woman," she

4e Ask her to help me by telling
re how she visualizes the part,
eat she is so inarticulate. As
ter Montand and Perkins (28-
yestr-old Tony jerkins is an-
other co-star, who plays Mon -
land's young French rival), they
create a wonderful contrast.
Montana instinctively feels
everything. He is warm and sen-
sitive. Perkins is just the oppo-
elite type of actor."
For all her enthusiasm, how -
over, Miss Bergman confessed
that her secret ambition was to
do a really light comedy. "I
would love to make people

ways think of me as a serious

With this type filter you can remove dirt particles one-half a
micron in size (anything mailer than 40 microns can't be
seen with the naked eye) from a liquid twice as thick as

thing, What I do must have a
foundation. You know, I'm the
solid Swede. People who laugh
at my movies have to suffer,
too. In 'The Bells of St. Mary's,'
for example, I was a pretty gay
and lovely person, but I had to
have tuberculosis."
Miss Bergman was asked
about her long layoff since
1958's "The Inn of the Sixth
Happiness." "For one year I
had too many other things to
do," she explained vaguely.
"Then for the next year I didr't
find any part for me to work
in, I have my own drastic con-
ditions, too. I don't want to work
in the summer because I like to
be on our email island in Swe-
den, with no mail or telephone
service.
"I was an eager beaver ten
years ago," she went on. "Now
I only want to do those things
that are easy and not too long.
I refuse to work just for money.
I don't want my children to ask
me. 'How could you do such
an awful thing?' when they see
one of my films.
"I just love this part because
it's all drawing -room stuff," she
concluded. "I like to do these
parts where you doe't have to
be on a horse or clutch at a
mountain side for dear life. In
'The Inn of the Sixth Happi-
ness' we had. all this wonderful
pathos and big, big exteriors an3.
everything was so lavish. And
look what happened: The tune
became famous. At a recent
benefit show I became absolute-
ly furious. They gave me a sort
of tree which had 27 different
recordings of that tune."—From

Walked Around The.
World Badcward
The amazing feats of Dr.
Barbara Moore, who conquered
Britain, America and Australia
on foot, and those of eighteen -
year -old Wendy Lewis, who won
$3,000 by walking from Sohn 0'
Groats to Land's End, have had
one very successful outcome. All
the publicity about their foot-
slogging has helped people in
this jet-propelled, supersonic age
to rediscover walking — man-
kind's oldest transport system.
But when it comes to walking,
no one has equalled the achieve-
ment of Plennie Wingo, This
little man from Abilene, Texas,
with a name like a rock 'n' roll
singer and enough optimism to
be a rock 'n' roll singer's mana-
ger, did it the hard way.
He set out lo walk backwards
round the world, twenty-five
years before Spike Milligan even
thought of doing it for Christ-
mas.
Wingo ran a small restaurant
in Abilene but he was forced
out of business in 1931 because
of the slump. Completely broke,
he went to Fort Worth in search
of a job, but work was hard to
find.
When he had all but abandon-
ed hope he met some cattlemen
who were looking for a man to
publicize their annual redeo. It
entailed walking through the
town with sandwich boardS.
Wingo took the job, but found
he wasn't attracting much atten-
tion. So he decided to tie? walk-
ing backwards. That did the
trick. The mime, flecked ie the
show.

At first he made slow progrees,
finding his quaint method of
locomotion awkward and weary-
ing over long periods. But grad-
ually he became accustomed to
it and his claily mileage increas-
ed.
After two weeks his leg mus-
cles became accustomed to back-
ward walking and he found it
no more tiring than the usual
!method. In fact, quite the re-
verse — so to speak.
Each clay he put more and
more miles in front of him un-
til between Providence, Rhode
Island, and Boston Mass., he set
up a personal mord. He cover-
ed the forty-five miles in just
twelve hours,
On his back Wingo wore a
filen telling of his attempt to
walk backwards around the
world, He had it painted in more
than a dozen languages before
his marathon walk was conclude
ed.
In each town he came to,
Wingo called at theatres and
cinemas offering to publicize
their shows in return for a small
fee. In this way, and through
the gifts of enthusiastic onlooke
ers, he made just enough money
to pay his way.
He became remarkably adept
at reading mirror-image writ-
ing and at backing to his right
when the road turned left,
Practically everywhere he went
he got a cheerful and amused
reception, but occasionally he
caused tremendous consterna-
tion, writes Michael Hennessey
in "Tit -Bits."
In a New York village one
agitated citizen rang the fire
alarm when he saw Wingo ap-
proaching; elsewhere other per-
plexed people sent for the po-
lice, the local sheriff or the asy-
lum authorities.
In Chicago the police were
called out eleven times as Wingo
made his slow progress through
the busy city. In the end they
gave him an escort "to let people
see that I was properly guarded
and not dangerous,"
He was rarely short of com-
pany; when there were no people
there were dogs and cats, One
clog followed him for more than
a hundred miles.
When he could afford it, he
slept at hotels; frequently, how-
ever, he was obliged to sleep
under the stars. He carried a
blanket, a water canteen and a
little food, but always made a
point oif sending his ohanges of
clothing and personal effects on
ahead of him.
From Boston, Wingo sailed for
Europe, working his passage as
a steward's helper, He didn't
keep up his backward walking
on board — that was not in his
contract — but he often demon-
strated his technique for the
amusement of passengers.
Landing in France, he began
his backward way across Europe.
In Hamburg, where, as usual,
news of his attempt had gone
ahead of him, he caused a sensa-
tion. Huge crowds gathered;
reporters, photgoraphers and
newsreel cameramen besieged
him; he was given an impressive
welcome and made guest of hon-
our at any number of hotels and
restaurants.
Having shown Germany a
clean pair of toes, Wingo moved
on across Europe until he reach-
ed. Turkey — and his first real
encounter with trouble.
As he walked backwards in
Constantinople, one morning.
with a crowd of wildly cheering.
front -slapping peasants following
him, he saw in his mirrors a
large policeman barring the way.
This was the first hold-up in
more than 10,000 miles of rear-
ward travel.
Wingo decided to mil 00 1(
bold hack and produced his pass-
port, credentials and other
papers. But the policeman was
not impressed. He arrested the
little Texan and took him off to
the local jail.
Thrown into a cell, Wingo pro-
tested loudly enough to be heard
by a man who could speak
little English. He got a message
to the American consul and after
two days Wingo was released.
Instead of trying to carry on
through Turkey, Wingo made up
his mind to heel the line and
beet, pedal out of the Balkans.
He backed across Europe. this
time through Greece, Italy and
Spain, then sailed for New York.
Here he decided to complete
