...Night. Another sweet movie by Truffaut, this may be more autobiographical than the others (400 Blows was the first in the line), as he plays himself. Starring Jean-Pierre Leaud, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Jacqueline Bisset, and Valentina Cortese, it is about the making of a movie called "Meet Pamela." Truffaut is perhaps too enamored, wistfully so, of his material--movie-making comes off as an experiment in building T-group togetherness. The actors live harder than the parts they play, high all the time off the magic of movie-making. The movie itself is pieced together out of bits...

The Houston department store Sakowitz & Co. asked D.G. Williams & Co. to mold the boss's wife, comely Pamela Sakowitz, in plastic.

Those lines have a ring as old as the novel itself, which was born as romantic kitsch for women when Samuel Richardson's Pamela: or Virtue Rewarded was published in 1740. But A Kiss From Satan was written this year and, even in the midst of a pornography boom, it and similar well-scrubbed (though timidly suggestive) paperbacks for women are spinning a new fortune for a Toronto-based publisher, Harlequin Enterprises. The firm's profits have more than tripled every year since 1970, and now stand at $1.6 million on revenues of $15 million. Harlequin, which...
