At a military parade, a segment of the crowd shouted "President by Perón's orders!" and sent up a barrage of balloons bearing colored pictures of Perón and his late wife, Eva. One balloon floated by Frondizi's face and was snared by an aide. All through the afternoon, Peronista demonstrations flared up in central streets, but Frondizi's new police chief sent in cops with tear gas to disperse the mobs.

A deranged Southern belle (played with whoops, whimpers and childbed eye-rolling by Elizabeth Taylor) thereafter convinces him that she is pregnant, and he marries her. Eva Marie looks distressed, but maintains her maiden faith. Sure enough, everything turns out all right: Fort Sumter is shot up, Elizabeth Taylor goes completely insane, Atlanta is burned again (it looked hotter in Gone With the Wind), Clift gets wounded, Lincoln is assassinated, and finally there is a fond fadeout between Clift and Eva Marie...
