Sounds familiar? Blonde, bullion, gilded body. Of course, the criminal Midas who sent the Triumph in for refinishing is Gert Frobe of Goldfinger. But Director Jean Becker, unwilling to risk all on one reckless stab at success by association, has also equipped Backfire with the Breathless team of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg.

In one stroke it puts the Herald Tribune right down in the gutter with the Graphic, the Enquirer, and Confidential...
Evie ogles the sights and buys a souvenir Statue of Liberty, but New York's hottest attraction turns out to be a greeting-card salesman named Harry (Glenn Ford). Evie looks at him and feels reckless. He looks at her and decides that she is nothing to write home about. Besides, he already has more than one postmistress.

The blonde agrees...
