...Haute Savoie. Built in 1965, Avoriaz reeks of chic; it has become the St. Tropez of the mountains. The visitor leaves his car in the valley, boards the téléphérique and settles back to enjoy the eight-minute ride (perhaps with Frequent Visitor Brigitte Bardot) up the steep, jagged mountainside. If he does not own an apartment in a condominium, he will most likely stay at the HÔtel des Dromonts, with 40 spacious, tastefully furnished rooms.

William Wilson, the second episode, comes as something of a relief; almost anything would. Louis Malle (The Thief of Paris) works some interesting cinematic variations on Poe's classic Doppelganger story, but Alain Delon and Brigitte Bardot seem, to put it gently, out of place. The kinetic opening, with Delon running desperately down the street trying to escape from his own suicide, conjures up a proper air of terror that the rest of the vignette cannot sustain...
