...Power Play. She is, says one New Frontiersman, "a truly amazing woman, one of the rare hostesses who know how to combine fun with the power play." At 46, her skin has been lightly bronzed by the sun of Bar Harbor summers and Palm Beach winters. She is 5 ft. 8 in., scarcely an inch shorter than her husband.

It engages in electronic and oceanographic research, says a Miami oil executive who claims to own the ship. On her last sailing...
...time loser dourly dedicated to his craft, Gabin comes out of prison and plunges right into a plot to lift 1,000,000,000 francs from the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes. But suspense-wise the film fails to break even until Accomplice Delon takes up a tommy gun, crawls on his belly through an air conditioning duct that appears approximately as long and tortuous as the Grande Corniche, and shinnies down an elevator cable into the casino's vault-just in time to break the bank...
