Whether he stands to gain either out of PAD is debatable-because as an actor, Hefner makes a pretty good magazine publisher. He stands there woodenly in his tux and clipped-on bow tie, clutching a blonde model who is dressed in a yellow piece of chiffon stuck together with three safety pins. The model also acts a little camera-shy, probably because she has no bra on. "Good evening," huffs Hef. "I'm Hugh Hefner. Welcome to the party." On one typical show the two comic acts were Shari Lewis, a ventriloquist who looks like a Playboy bunny...

...present the first inside look at the life and love of a young Negro couple. Fine in theory, but why did he have to do it in a story that not even the most gullible honky would buy?

He gets a tux, she a couple of evening gowns, and they check into Monte Carlo. The luxury, like the poverty, seems hard: there are the same straight lines, the same stark blacks and whites, set off by the flickers of brocade and jewelry. But the hardness is unreal because it has no effect on the people within it. Jeanne lives only...
