...opens with a slow, evocative long shot of an open coach moving through the autumn leaves along the driveway of an estate. In the back sits Severine (Catherine Deneuve) and her husband Pierre (Jean Sorel). They exchange affectionate pleasantries. Abruptly he orders the landau stopped; the coachman and footman drag Severine screaming through the woods, strip her half-naked, string her up to a tree and whip her. Suddenly the scene shifts and she is in her bed, chaste and composed. "What are you thinking about?" asks Pierre. "About us," she says. "We were in a coach...
...give chase, trying to retrieve enough line to get the fish back under control. A heavy fish that chooses to sound deep instead of run is even tougher: the fisherman either has to wait it out or attempt to "plane" the fish to the surface, by tightening the drag on his line right to the breaking point, running the boat rapidly forward and back in hopes, generally futile, of starting the fish...

Under the Net. The F-111 is the world's first combat plane with the so-called "variable geometry" wing, which extends for greater lift during takeoff and landing, folds back for less drag at supersonic speeds. Its "terrain radar," which automatically adjusts the plane's altitude to accord with the topography, is supposed to enable the plane to hug the ground while flying at a speed of 900 m.p.h. and thus dash in below the enemy radar net. If the first F-111 did hit a mountain, it was probably due to a malfunction in the terrain...
...calls can be traced. Meanwhile, victim after victim is fingered by the Manhattan strangler, who blithely pops into new personae as easily as most men change ties. His disguises range from the Irish priest to a German plumber to a homosexual hairdresser. He even plays a prostitute in drag and throws in an imitation of W. C. Fields on the brink of madness. But the killer's ego is even more monumental than his talents. Eventually he overreaches by trying to do away with Segal's girl friend (Lee Remick), then gets trapped in a theater, where...
