A close moving shot along the floor after the corpses are removed reveals some loose change which fell out of the mother's house coat as she died--truly a good touch, as is Bobby's compulsive neatness: a bit of calculated direction about which I would be more sanguine were Bogdanovich's own camera style less neat and precise.

Madame Binh managed a couple of shopping tours and purchased a $70 full-length coat and a $40 car coat as protection against the Paris winter. She also bought a pair of gloves, two Vietnamese tunics-and some perfume detected to be Chanel...
...even this is merely an appeal to the state's self-interest. It is crisp, numerical, clinical--only distantly related to the attempted abortions by wire coat hangers and steam from boiling turpentine that Baird is always so quick to talk about...
