...clothes for the greater glory of Technicolor. Playing the skittish wife of a Napoleonic general occupying a northern Italian town in Un Caprice de Caroline Chérie, busty Martine bounces about in a low-cut bodice, splashes nudely in a shell-shaped bathtub, flits from moonlit gardens to candlelit bedrooms in a minimum of ninon...

A crowd of 600 people jammed the candlelit Beverly Hills Church of the Good Shepherd; 2,500 more lined the streets outside. The young folks (the bride had just recovered from a cold in her chest) left for a four-part honeymoon: a night in Santa Monica; a week in Carmel, Calif.; a week in Manhattan; three months in Europe...
