Unbridled sex appeal and bridled hobbyhorses make an unlikely scene. Yet there was Israeli Siren Dahlia Lavi, 26, playing the role of the Jewish Mother with all the smothering solicitude of Molly Goldberg. Since Son Rouven was born to her and Producer-Husband John Sullivan 20 months ago, Dahlia has been hewing to her London hearthside during film breaks and doing all those cuddly, maternal things that sloe-eyed vamps are not supposed to do. Devotees of décolletage need not worry, though; Dahlia is currently appearing in one screen steamer, Nobody Runs Forever, and has just completed another...
Transgressing the Order. "More than to any family or club," writes Goffman in his book Behavior in Public Places, "more than to any class or sex, more than to any nation, the individual belongs to gatherings, and he had best show that he is a member in good standing. Just as we fill our jails with those who transgress the legal order, so we partly fill our asylums with those who act unsuitably-the first kind of institution being used to protect our lives and property; the second, to protect our gatherings and occasions...

The middle scene portrays Inga discovering puberty before our very eyes, then proceeding to masturbate. Not having seen any of the recent films which apparently deal in masturbation, I can't tell you how the masturbation scene in Inga rates in comparison, but I thought it was okay...

I will say that it concerns a lot of people hassling over sex and money and that four of the film's five degenerates lose out in the end, and the fifth gets Inga, a success of dubious distinction to say the least...
...French, of course, have a long tradition of an older woman initiating a young man in the felicities of sex. Transferred to a U.S. setting, Forty Carats acquires a sociological tinge. The play enters a sane and plausible plea for a single standard of judgment on age disparity in marriage. If it is acceptable for an older man to marry a young girl, then it ought to be equally acceptable for an older woman to marry a young man. Love is a game for all seasons...
