...Tart Seduction. Connery is the first male, a prideful master carpenter who takes for granted that woman was created solely for his pleasure. He matter-of-factly lies to all his ladies, including his daughter (Calder-Marshall). That deceit permanently estranges them, indurates her heart against all men and sets up Segment No. 2: her confrontation with Caine. Michael plays a reptilian charmer, the acknowledged sultan of the typing pool. Or he was until challenged by Calder-Marshall, who decides to wreak vengeance on the whole gender of womanizers by giving Caine "one in the eye for every girl...
...badinage of the seduction scenes and the script as a whole will sound uncommonly witty, tart and adult to American audiences, particularly now that the networks are under attack for "excessive permissiveness" from John Pastore, chairman of the Senate Communications Subcommittee. No canned laughter is added to the sound track.

Karina looks and sounds a tart, but she has little of the compelling eroticism that the part requires. At his worst, Herve should convey a quality that is pretty deadly; Drouot's menace lies mainly in a serious case of five o'clock shadow...
Raspberry Tart. Money is the main tie that binds U.N. Plaza residents. Considering the variety of their taste in decor, it seems to be the only tie. An exporter and his wife inhabit an eight-room West Tower penthouse whose walls are completely covered with dark green Vermont marble-giving their apartment a curiously tomblike atmosphere. Capote's apartment features a red-on-red dining room ("Like a hot raspberry tart," he says), and a prominently displayed pink china jar labeled "Opium," which was a housewarming gift from Jacqueline Kennedy...
