Guccione has his office in an expensively tacky off-Fifth Avenue mansion in New York City, full of mirrored walls, oversized candelabra and a gilded piano that Liberace might envy. The furnishings look as if they came intact from a Neapolitan bordello, but they actually came from Judy Garland's estate, as did the house. Guccione, in well-coiffed hair, is obviously more concerned with his own appearance than his apartment's: he wears a shirt open to his hairy chest, against which bobble necklaces of large gold medallions. No one believed him seven years ago when...
...culprit is again Sanek's weak direction, which fails either to paint the frustrations of mismatched love or to create the mood of enchantment which resolves them. In the first case, we hear Fredrik singing while Anne mumbles to herself by her dressing table; in the second, a misplaced candelabra obscures faces confronting one another over Madame Armfeldt's dining table.

Flash is what affluent rockers want, insists Decorator Phyllis Morris.

At that, the reception was an austerity model, in deference to Egypt's economic problems. The entertainers, including an ample belly dancer, donated their services. And the father of the bride cut costs by serving the guests only a light snack of canap...
Wanted Babies. London's fashion able department stores looked as seedy as portside pubs, with stark light glaring from naked bulbs powered by generators. Yet there were compensations. Mayfair's elegant shops looked even more elegant with lighted silver candelabra on their counters. The widespread use of candlelight cast a heartwarming, old-fashioned glow over the misery of it all. Recalling the baby boom after the 1965 New York blackout, officials decided at 10:30 p.m. they had best sponsor a birth control campaign. Now the last thing Londoners will hear when they turn off the telly...
