In order to continue their research, the doctors have agreed to accept and examine any currency sent them-and to safely dispose of all found to be tainted...
...unsinkable Sally, Liza Minelli is asked to play an American girl abroad, a bit of a nightclub performer and a bit more of a whore. Sporting green fingernails ("Divine Decadence," she purrs to guests in explanation), downing Prairie Cocktails (raw eggs, whisky and worchestershire designed to get rid of the "worst hangovers") and always looking for that one lay which will bring her fortune and fame. Sally is a desperate character whose high spirits are the only assurance she has that she can keep from being a loser. Given half a chance, I suspect that Miss Minnelli might have...
