...less needy, greedy path, fueled more by appetite than hunger. We're introduced to Child as newly arrived in Paris in 1948 with her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci), a diplomat she met and fell in love with in her mid-30s. They are a marvelously believable pair of soul mates; Tucci makes the transition from playing Streep's gay minion in The Devil Wears Prada to playing her lusty spouse look effortless. Ensconced in a beautiful apartment, Julia and Paul eat, make love and eat some more. "French people eat French food every single day!" Julia enthuses...
