Clouzot has taken a rather average situation and applied a magnificent twist. The deceitful and domineering husband has wife trouble. He openly flirts with his mistress, a teacher in a boarding school of which he is headmaster. His wife has money and she wants a divorce. This would be a bad thing. Propriety, and Madison Avenue, forbid further detail here...
Bitter Man. Returning last fall to his Latin Quarter room with its nude prints, Le Pen installed the new mistress he had picked up in Saigon-an elfin artist with inch-long silver fingernails and two-toned hair (blond on brown). He was bitter about the Communists, about Mendès France's "betrayal" of Indo-China, scornful of France's Deputies, whom he labeled degenerates.

After a bit of coaxing, Mrs. Adams agrees to spill some pseudo pregnancy news over Flaire's national TV hookup.* Unfortunately, a makeup artist named Jacques Mario Jean Petrovich goes into a dither over Mrs. Adams' "firm ample tummy [which] was shaped like the underside of a round 15-inch skillet." The pair are about to start cooking with gas when Blade starts playing Bogart with Jacques's face ("Slap...
