...villa that is decorated like an elaborate set from The Roaring Twenties. Soon after King's arrival, life begins to imitate artifice. There are decadent aristocrats, a mysterious mistress (Nadia Cassini), a vulturous ex-wife (Lizabeth Scott), and a professor from Berkeley (Al Lettieri) found dead in a bathtub-just like Diabolique-who pops up later as an assassin. And of course there are also the requisite bizarre coincidences, intimations of labyrinthine intrigues, and murders. It is all highly improbable, like one of Gilbert's movies or one of King's books...

"When the Skins win," says Jim Graham, manager of the Fredericksburg Holiday Inn, "that's when we have trouble with the fans. By the end of a game they have gone through a bathtub of beer, and they start throwing toilet paper and hollering...
From the first, Breuer showed an original spirit; he slept on top of a bathtub in an apartment he shared with two women. He quickly questioned the Bauhaus slogan of "Art and Technology-a new Unity." It implies, he said, that "art is wonderful, technology is wonderful, so the two together must be twice as wonderful. That is not so." As for the famous tag-"form follows function"-Breuer wryly added: "Not always." What he aimed at was "something simpler, more elemental, more generous and more human than a machine...
