Puccio, admitting that his client had strung Isles along, said that Von Bulow may have been a "cad," but he was not a murderer. Andrea Reynolds, Von Bulow's thrice-married Hungarian-born companion, told the New York Post: "Alexandra is a very pretty girl, but she is not what I call marriage material." Why not, pray tell?

Always together, eternally apart, these two ironic superheroes have a mediating companion, the impish cutpurse Phillipe (Matthew Broderick again).
