...precedent is always useful in court, so Gina Lollobrigida, 36, was saying: "The theater has always been full of daring performers since Grecian times -even the great Greta Gar bo, who undressed much more than today's actresses without creating a scandal." La Lollo was in a Roman court on charges of "outraging the public morals" by appearing apparently nude behind a bed sheet in Le Bambole (The Dolls). This was silly, said she, loftily.

As many as 400 guests cram into the high-columned room (legal limit: 80), often sit two-deep at the candlelit, mirror-topped tables. House champagne costs only $4 a bottle, but vintage Moet & Chandon at $12 is swilled and spilled by the Jeroboam. The entertainment consists mostly of commercials.
