French adolescents, who were unborn in her heyday, flock to a Marilyn boutique in Paris' Latin Quarter and mimic the bouffant hairdos and casual dress styles of "La Marieleen." A line of Monroe dolls planned by a New York City manufacturer will include a $6,000, 16-in. porcelain model that is described as a replica of the star, with a fur coat and diamond earrings. It will make its debut next month at the American Toy Fair in New York. Last week, "Remember Marilyn" shops at Bloomingdale's New York-area department stores began offering a line...

From an outback of inactivity a decade before, a flock of young film makers proved they could appeal to a worldwide audience while remaining true to their country's ornery uniqueness. But with success came a more daunting challenge: to remain uncolonized by the New Hollywood.

Among them we find the darkly clad figure of a sullen young man in his early 20s (Sting). This stranger begins deliberately accosting passerby on the rainy street with an "accidental" jostle and a subsequent "Why, you're the last person I expected to see!" Someone finally falls for this deception--Thomas E. Bates(Denholm Eihott) a harried middle-aged writer of mass-produced inspirational verse...
