Pisier, the betrayed wife in last year's Cousin, Cousine, makes a peppery vixen, but ultimately her performance is blunted by two language problems: hers and the script's. Beck's pilot, who ought to be an irresistible heel, could be upstaged by a Parisian lamppost. Pisier's detectives tell her halfway through the film that they have found him, but dramatically, he remains a missing person throughout...
...companion stalk the New York waterfront at night: "Now and then they entered the nimbus of a gas lamp hovering just over their heads like a phosphorescing sea creature. Schlumberger heard the sinister hiss behind the glass. One pace beyond the lamp his shadow was squeezing from under his heel squat as a dwarf, and four strides later it was a lanky giant being sucked headfirst into the dark...
Pirates and Pinafore may attack the great weakness for duty shared by all Victorians but Patience goes straight for the Achilles' heel of a minority. In this less well known Gilbert and Sullivan satire it is the aesthetes who so carefully buttoned their sleeves in the last half of the last century who are being so obviously but fondly mocked.

...them well. Nearly hobbled by her bleeding blister in Chicago, MacLaine took a shot of novocain, cut out the heel in her right shoe and completed her six-night sellout engagement at the Arie Crown Theater (4,500 seats). Her 80-minute bittersweet reflections on life ranged from a poignant rendition of Irma La Douce to an upbeat, gently self-mocking tune titled If There's a Wrong Way, Nobody Does It Like Me. Backed up by four dancers and a 25-piece band, she kicked, tapped, whirled and strutted her way flawlessly through a string of numbers. "When...
