Auntie Pasta's striking pallor is accentuated by her puddle-blue coat and Auntie Awful is dourly dressed in pea green and black.

Then embattled ex-CIA Director Richard Helms threw caution to the wind. He stepped over to ask whether "I was encountering as many difficulties as he had been experiencing lately," explained Robert Bedford. The star is playing a CIA man on the run in the film adaptation of James Grady's novel Six Days of the Condor. Helms had dropped by at the suggestion of the movie's director, Sydney Pollack.
