...excitement is in the composition of images, the balletry of actors and camera, the surprise of lighting, the big crazy fire at the climax. As a sympathetic director of women (who could ever forget Adrian's birth scene in Rocky II?) you might be appalled by Bertrand Blier's Tenue de Soiree, a raucous romantic farce in which Macho Thief Gerard Depardieu gets the raging hots for Winsome Wimp Michel Blanc, and they both end up in drag.

Blier's leaping grab gave Bradshaw the Super Bowl passing record and the Steelers a 21-14 halftime lead...
