...spends most of the movie jouncing around in a 1912 Rochet-Schneider trying to spring her fiancé (George Segal) from the local hoosegow where he's been tossed by her dad as a suspected jewel thief. But voyeurs need not despair: hopefully, in Ursula's next film it's back to the undressed Andress...

Heart of the starlight scope is its image-intensifier tube, a sturdy combination of the home TV screen and miniaturized space-age electronics. Focused sharply by the scope's front lens, the slightest flickers of light are directed against a chemical film, causing it to discharge electrons. Boosted along by a 15,000-volt electrostatic field, those electrons smack into a phosphorcoated screen whose light then jars loose still another flock of electrons. The process is repeated three times, and the high-voltage electron acceleration, or energy buildup, produces a progressively brighter image. Besides the light, the only other...

This feelie probably goes as far as the permissive law permits. Based on a novella by Violette Leduc, a gifted French writer who is an admitted lesbian, the film tells the old story of homosexual love between school chums. Therese is played by Sweden's pouty-lipped Essy Persson, and Isabelle by France's blonde, big-eyed Anna Gael. They make love with their clothes on in a toilet cubicle and the school chapel, and with their clothes off in bed and in the woods. There is also a prolonged bout of autoeroticism and, just for variety...
