...publisher of Country Daze, a Perrier-and-lime sort of publication, remarks: "I discriminate enough to know who means most to me. I mean most to me." So, apparently, does everyone else. Lucy Spenser, who writes a Miss Lonelyhearts column for the magazine under the pen name Cindi Coeur, is having a sporadic affair with her editor Hildon and trying to figure out why her old friend Les dumped her. Lucy's summer is further disrupted by the arrival of her niece Nicole, a teenage star of the TV soap opera Passionate Intensity. Others follow in Nicole's sudsy wake...
...Hewitt deliver the most uneven performance as Gaston. The playboy with a coeur has always been a difficult one, especially when further tainted with heavy ennui. Jourdan never allowed this boredom to turn to bitterness, but like so much else in this production, the bitterness, but ershadows the sweet.

The monitor warned his superiors; they ordered an alert, but nobody ever passed the word to the Seventh Army. These German intelligence failures and Eisenhower's daring gamble on the weather combined to give the Allied commander the one great...
...mutiny because he wants to return to his Tahitian princess. He is given little opportunity to do anything except stand around looking gorgeous; we are never given a chance to see what motivates his actions. Why, for instance, does his passion for the princess turn into a romance de coeur so strong that he is willing to risk his life and those of the men on board the Bounty to return to Tahiti? All we see are a few semi-nude water love scenes or views of his getting tatooed--nothing substantial enough to explain his deep depression upon leaving...
