...REAL PROOF of an all--too--worldly' morality lies in Dominique Sanda's Micol. Showing herself as an almost incestuous alter ego to Helmut Berger's Alberto, her cool beauty fails to mask a festering decadence that has been epitomized by Berger's own performances in Visconti's The Damned, and Bertollucci's The Conformist.

When Photographer Bert Stern wanted to use her in a series of pictures illustrating pop fairy tales a few years ago, Justin turned him down flat. "Twiggy has a pure, clean image," he said. "The whole idea of the wolf, the big bad wolf, and Twiggy-it has something erotic about it." He added, quite unnecessarily: "I won't have sexual...
