Empathic Powers. Is Paris Burning? boasts a luminous roster: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Boyer, Orson Welles, Kirk Douglas (as George Patton) and Glenn Ford (Omar Bradley). But it is significant that the actor that Paramount and Seven Arts signed up first for their $6,000,000 epic is blubbery (230 Ibs.) Gert Frobe. And it was not just on the strength of his Goldfinger portrayal.

"What I'd give to have a body nobody wanted!" he sighs, and wonders if perhaps...
These goings-on, naturally, convince Charles Boyer that Rock would make an ideal son-in-law, so he sells Rock on the proposition by picturing the revenge he would have by marrying Leslie and "keeping her pregnant all the time-waddling around with a fat belly." Which is exactly what he does. This desperately tasteless movie closes with a shot of them surrounded by six children, with more to come...
