Roman Polanski, 34, Polish director of many a chilling and fascinating psychological film (Knife in the Water, Cul-de-Sac); and Sharon Tate, 24, one of the boozy, bosomy denizens in The Valley of the Dolls, also featured in one of Polanski's lesser efforts, The Fearless Vampire Killers; he for the second time; in London...
