...sultry night at Holland's sea-coast spa of Noordwijk, and the guests at Hotel Huis ter Duin were finishing a late supper when in drooped Mia Farrow, 23, fagged out after a day on the set of a gay little flick called Secret Ceremony. From then on the facts are hard to come by, but according to witnesses, Co-Star Robert Mitchum, 50, bounded to his feet and smothered Mia with a kiss-so all-consuming that Mia allowed her dangling cigarette to burn a hole in the suit of a somewhat wobbly diner...
...financier's wife is played by a sleek, sweet dream from England named Jacqueline Bisset. Her screen debut in the part originally scheduled for Mia Farrow-before she walked out on the movie and on Sinatra-is one of The Detective's redeeming features. Otherwise, this police epic peters out in aimless diffusion and in some of the most absurd juxtapositions of Manhattan and California location shots ever seen...

...banks of the Ganges to facing Frankie at the Fontainebleau, to grooving with Liz and Dick on the banks of the Thames would be quite an adjustment for anybody. Added to that was the pressure of starting work on her second major film role in Secret Ceremony. So Mia Farrow, 23, had a problem. It got out of hand after Mia, in her mini mini, danced until the wee hours at a Burton party at London's Dorchester Hotel, then turned up absent from the scene next morning. After a couple of days, the film makers dispatched an emissary...
