...dapper fellow portrayed by Belmondo, we learn, has lost a fortune thanks to his inept uncle, who has speculated away his inheritance. Strike one against the inanity of capitalism. Meanwhile the woman Belmondo pines for, acted by a ravishing Genevieve Bujold, has become engaged to a silly looking suitor who promises nothing but a fat checking account. Strike two. So what is a clearly superior gentleman to do about this unappreciative bourgeois system of values? Strike back, of course. The suitor's fortune rests on his family's jewels, so Belmondo lifts them. His career in crime has taken wing...

Myers' physical control enables him to demonstrate the sophistication of Hamlin's direction; each twist of the neck and slide of the back shows perfect tuning. Paul Redford as the humpbacked Geronte and James Holt as the insipid suitor Leandro are also quite good...

Victor Garber, who plays Perdita's young suitor Florizel, is entirely new to me, and he's a real find. He is exceedingly attractive, the model of an earnest, ardent innocent. He speaks well (unlike Richard Backus last year), and exudes love. One could not ask for better. Richard Dix remains properly warm-hearted as the Old Shepherd, although he shaves off 13 years from the age Shakespeare puts into his mouth; and this year he has a new son in John Tillinger, who makes a droll dimwitted dupe...
