...unseen movie is a masterpiece, as Success amiably proves. Its oafish hero Harry (Bridges) cannot seem to get the attention of his pretty, dotty wife (Belinda Bauer). They have sex every Friday; in between she chats with her cats and practices ballet before her favorite companion, a full-length mirror.

Fast-moving Freelance Photographer Mauro Carraro, 23, who quit hunting crime shots 18 months ago to concentrate on the much more profitable ambushing of royals, finally got a picture of Andrew that was good enough for the Mirror's front page.
