...front of the cameras. "I'm not criticizing anyone else who did it. But going nude just isn't up my alley." The whole problem was that stories were spreading that Jean had stripped to the waist for a love scene with Warren Beatty in the upcoming Lilith. In her Breathless in-bed scene with Jean-Paul Belmondo, in case anyone wondered, she wore "slacks and a top" under the covers. She was just as dressed for Warren. Besides, she said, "I'm worried about what my parents in Iowa will think...

...flood of good, bad and mediocre disks, there are some surprising disappointments. Siobhan McKenna's reading of Molly Bloom's sensuous soliloquy from James Joyce's Ulysses lacks both the virago drive and the Lilith languors of that Protean whore; Dame Peggy Ashcroft sounds too much the maidenly elocutionist for the passionate verses in her assorted Poetry Readings (London). London's Sherlock Holmes disk goes to the other extreme as three mighty hams-Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson. Orson Welles-rant and thunder through Dr. Watson Meets Sherlock Holmes and The Final Problem...
