add to cart   close window

In spite of the Meridès-France campaign for milk and street posters depicting this country as the most alcoholic on earth, heavy drinking continues in other examples of popular art, notably in the films "Je Suis Un Sentimental," and "Les Héros Sont Fatigués. The author haven't seen so many bottles emptied in a Hollywood film since William Powell days. Lately the author has been talking to teachers, schoolchildren, parents, professors in an attempt to reach the source of this misunderstanding which appears to be a difference in education. Finally, he is now convinced that the fundamental difference lies in attitudes toward the past.
