...party. It is apparent that interviewers and applicants alike need help: instead of the bread of life, they are fed vacuous cliches by intellectual bubble-gum blowhards representing the church, state, politics and psychoanalysis. One of the self-frocked priests of the Freudian age opens his mouth to say: "Blah, blah, blah, blah-hostile. Blah, blah, blah, blah-penis. Blah, blah, blah, blah -mother. Blah, blah, blah, blah-money...

When his best friend (Jean-Pierre Cassel) stops by, she pours out her troubles while he paws out his sympathy. Result: an orgy of absent-minded surrender...
...from Palm Beach for other background shots, and built the "Kiss Kiss Club" on Huntington Hartford's Paradise Island with such style that one old Nassauvian remarked, "Best damned nightclub on the island. They should have left it there." But it all left Connery himself on the blah side. "There's an awful lot of this stuff," he groused. "Next they'll be making Son of . . .
