...Mozart marathon. In the opening Concerto No. 4, composed when Mozart was eleven, she unfolded the beguilingly simple melodies with a rippling grace and ease; in No. 9 she engaged the Mozart Chamber Orchestra in a lighthearted dialogue that rang with all the gusto of a back-porch gossip fest. And her reading of the passionate No. 20, the most popular of Mozart's piano works, was clean refinement and intense drama.

Nightclub Singer Jane Morgan, tall, strong, blonde, cute-cute, and amply chestiferous, sings well with sex in her throat, and allows Benny to kiss her as if he were Robert Goulet (in mid-embrace, he notices her ring, whips out a jeweler's glass and studies her diamond...
