...CONELUICT over which say gets which girl gets lost in a choppy and predictable plot. Gene gets the woman he desires and Jonarthan gets Marilyn, the woman he desires.

In the showroom, armed with order forms, style books, color charts, the buyers, with occasional encouragement and sweet talk from the designers, start to act just like serious shoppers. They pull clothes off racks, hold them up, try them on. Armani's definitive long coats and shorter sexy skirts...
