...seems well worth anyone's soul. He is portrayed by Gerard Philipe with just the right combination of gallantry and naivete. But it is M. Simon's performance that sets the mood for the movie; merely the lascivious wink of his eye, coming devilishly through a heavy growth of beard, seems to epitomize just what author Clair had in mind...
After a morning session at Harper Hospital, he went to the Statler. Hotel's Michigan Room for a news conference with nine or ten Detroit reporters. At the doorway Wilson told a story about the western sheriff whose friends smeared Limburger cheese in his beard while he slept.
