...lively respect for the perils of the deep and an awareness that the mariner's world required special skills and knowledge. Today the ubiquitous cabin cruiser seems to many a Sunday skipper like nothing more than a watertight version of the car he left parked at the marina, while the outboard motor has evolved from a poky put-put to a roaring, soaring substitute for a jet fighter plane. The result is a whole new set of perils of the surface...
...Dying. Her hiveness, the heroine of the film, is a blonde humdinger named Marina Vlady, whose performance won her a golden palm at this year's Cannes Festival even though her lines were dubbed in by someone else.

...older Britons, Ogilvy's robust charm and self-assurance recall Alexandra's father, the Duke of Kent, who was killed in a wartime plane crash when she was five. Left with a lessthan-princely income, the duke's widow, handsome, Greek-born Princess Marina, raised her children modestly. "Puddy," as her daughter is still known to intimates, was the first royal princess to attend boarding school, later took up nursing at a children's hospital. The slim, green-eyed Maid of Kent tickled Londoners by wearing her mother's hand-me-downs and driving...
