Novelist Blake likes stormy scenes. Cimactic chorus at a family fight: "One mezzo, one dramatic soprano, one lyric soprano, one croak (stork), one croak (raven), one tenor, one baritone, two basses, one refrain-money."

But the storm clouds lift often enough to reveal a memorable series of landscapes-Langue-doc's fertile vineyards, the endless suburbs of Paris, Arles in its lingering Roman splendor...

Such versatility caused Director Howard's friends at Manhattan's Stork Club, whose major-domo Jack Entratter got a policeman's part in the picture, to refer to him as "Noel Howard." Back Door to Heaven being what it is, this crack was no compliment to England's Noel Coward...
