...Variations. The plot is a simple blueprint from which Hubert Cornfield, the director, producer and coauthor, builds an intricate superstructure. A girl (Pamela Franklin) is kidnaped at Orly Airport by a man dressed as a chauffeur (Marlon Brando). The chauffeur and his three partners (Richard Boone, Rita Moreno, Jess Hahn) hold her captive at a deserted seaside cottage while they approach her wealthy father about the ransom.

They had not, as Miss Hahn expressed it, taken on a life of their own; they had not told her what they wanted to say. The idea that a work of art is somehow master of its creator and can dictate to him the terms of its existence is a difficult one and one the Company did not really come to grips with in its explanations. What is boiled down to that...
