...stand 110 greats of the history of science. To make things less bewildering for the literate, Dufy labeled the figures. Originally he painted all of them - Archimedes, who once ran naked through the streets of Syracuse, Thales, Aristotle, Leonardo, Bacon, Galileo, Faraday, Pascal, Morse, Edison, Bell, Helmholtz-in the nude. Then he had extras from the Comédie Franchise model period costumes while be dressed up his pantheon...

As the girl eventually transformed into Rina Marlowe, a doomed Hollywood sex goddess, Actress Baker seems uncertain about which actress living or dead she is not supposed to resemble. Although her widely publicized nude scene has been disnuded, she wears costumes that thinly conceal the loss, and also delivers some of the film's funniest asides. Sinking into the horn-and-hide trappings of a limousine belonging to Western He-man Nevada Smith (Alan Ladd), she burbles in her best Baby Doll manner...
