Having recently spent four weeks flying around in a blimp in Black Sunday, Swiss Actress Marthe Keller, 30, had no qualms about going up in a hot-air balloon for her latest picture, Bobby Deerfield.

Host Ralph Richardson is a successful but dipsomaniacal belletrist blimp who keeps two menacing servants to guard against just such intrusions. Together these two titled mandarins of the stage are guiding us into Pinter-land, where words struggle to contain the open-ended flux of existence. Our journey through it is brilliantly illuminated by their partnership...
