...Maybe it's the altitude," Romy Schneider suggests, none too helpfully, to Alain Delon, who plays the assassin Jacson. He has certainly known strange fits of passion since his arrival in Mexico City to murder Trotsky (Richard Burton). Suffering from a kind of ambulatory catatonia, Delon lurches about, subjecting his paramour Romy to his sexual vagaries and incoherent political outbursts.

"They were all monsters," he explains. "They only looked human when they were dead." His eighth frau is an American, Joey Heatherton, who comes on like a refugee from a Tijuana specialty act. With good, home-grown American intuition, Joey discovers that the baron's problems are rooted in impotence and a rather baroque affection for his departed mother. The baron rewards this...
