Epifania Ognisanti di Parerga (Loren), heiress to a vast industrial domain, buys a husband, buys a divorce, buys a lover (Dennis Price). She is therefore astounded to discover that money cannot buy her the man she really wants, a humble Hindu medic (Sellers) who informs her mildly that he is "married to science," requires no mistress, and desires only "to be of some benefit to mankind."

"Tina" excitedly chattered the news to a friend, inquiring Hearst Gossipist Igor ("Cholly Knickerbocker") Cassini, who reached her by phone in Paris, where she is luxuriating with her two children by Shipping Czar Aristotle Socrates Onassis, 54. In mid-June, Tina spent a profitably unprofitable day in Alabama, got an uncontested divorce and custody of the kids from "Ari." She asked no alimony. Ground: mental cruelty. Tina...
