...with private craft tied up at the door. Most tenants work in San Francisco and commute by car and-in some instances-boat. Rents at The Cove range from $185 for a one-bedroom apartment, to $525 for three bedrooms. On the outskirts of Los Angeles, the Penthouse apartments hover over the Pacific shore line, offer tenants a beach, a Gay Nineties-style billiard room, and an acre of terraced gardens with olive, orange and lemon trees...

In fact, a little cloud of H25O4 does seem to hover over Laurence Harvey's head, sprinkling down on all around him, especially women. But he generally has the grace to pour a little milk after the acid. A Walk on the Wild Side he remembers as "a ghastly film, made more so by that ghastly woman Capucine," but he adds: "I suppose it's not her fault...
