This rather sad, silly and sterile proposition is seen through a teary blur of bravery. Thank You might have been subtitled Orphan of the Sexual Storm. Seduced, pregnant and very much alone, Sandy Dennis, an arch-valiant London waif, decides to have her baby anyway. She wouldn't dream of darkening her parents' door, and they have left for Africa anyway. She is too proud to tell the father (Ian McKellen), a BBC TV announcer who was only with her for one gravid night. Apparently she takes a dim view of his husbandly potential in any case, though...
...nude, not clad in bikini pants and a bra as had first been reported. Sebring was wearing only the torn remnants of a pair of boxer shorts. One of Miss Tate's breasts had been cut off, apparently as a result of indiscriminate slashing. She was nine months pregnant, and there was an X cut on her stomach. What appeared to be the bloody handle of a paring knife was found next to her leg, the blade broken off. Sebring had been sexually mutilated, and his body also bore X marks...

She knows that Charles will have her back any time she likes, so she moves in with Antoine. Antoine obliges her to take a job; soon, too, she is pregnant. She decides she does not like the realities of this world either, so she quits her job, aborts her child and deserts Antoine...
Telephone and electric lines leading to the red, barnlike house had been severed. The word "pig" was scrawled on the front door in blood. Inside, police discovered the body of Polanski's pregnant wife, Actress Sharon Tate, 26. She was clad in a bikini nightgown. A nylon cord, looped around her neck and passed over a beam, linked her body to that of Jay Sebring, 35, who had been her beau before her marriage. A hood covered Sebring's head, but the two appeared to have been stabbed or shot, not hanged. "It seemed kind of ritualistic," said...
