...West Side Story alumni, George Chakiris and Grover Dale, handle the hard-core dancing and occasional lechery with efficiency, and Jacques Perrin is as fine a romantic innocent as one could hope to see in an age of sophisticated film-making.

The chances are that she will make it as an actress. And with her considerable grace and nicely mannered charm, there should be no doubt that she will be lending style to the women of the Champs-Elysèes for much time to come...
