...Noonoo and Terry Emerson (as the town's humanistic newspaper editor) who have the privilege of rendering the show's title song, a straw-hat-and-strut number.

Belmondo earns his lunatic (fou) sobriquet; his quirky bantam strut and broken-nosed banter are only a gasp away from Breathless. Karina's sensuality gives her ultimate villainy the quality of revelation...
