Sparger and Lowe rejected the terms; with that, Nielsen publicly showed off a microfilm of the Sparger-Lowe check...
Apparently baffled or bemused by her first English-speaking role, Italy's Monica Vitti plays Modesty as haute couture: black jump suit for tussling with a would-be lover; slinky silk for all-out assaults; a peekaboo cape for evenings of casual intrigue.
