...Suzanne Brown (Eva Dahlbeck), journey from Stockholm to Gothenberg, the former to get away from her cloying fiance and the latter to try to renew a once torrid love affair with a married businessman, Mr. Lobelius (Ulf Palme). In another of his brilliant characterizations, Gunnar Bjornstand portrays the aging consul, who picks up Doris and plays Santa Baby with her for a day.

Oksana Stepanovna Kasenkina, 63, Russian schoolteacher in the Soviet consulate in Manhattan, who defected in 1948 by jumping from a third-floor window, became a U.S. citizen in 1957 and wrote Leap to Freedom, the story of her life under Russian repression and of the disappearance of her husband in the 1937 purges; of heart disease; in Miami, where she had lived incognita the past year in a hotel for the elderly.
