When Nelly (the crazy blonde) and Martin (the former perfume magnate) are alone on the island, he calls her up on the phone that connects two straw huts to invite her to dinner and she insists that she is really much, much too busy. She is eating a peach and thumbing absentmindedly through an old magazine. When we discover that Martin is not just...
