...pursued by a shark in the service of the Russians (James Mason) who gives her a chase that is all the more stimulating because she never knows whether he is after her neck or just after her pretty face. In due course, the shark proves human and takes the bait Ingenue Bloom only too happily offers. The Russians rush off after them both on just the kind of joyride that Reed likes best to give his camera-the chase through a great city by night. Bloom and Mason hole up at last in a dingy East zone apartment and spend...

Italian perfume makers were challenging French supremacy in the U.S. market, and, as always, the Paris market was flooded with cheap, tourist-bait concoctions mixed in some 1,200 Parisian "cellars."
