...movie opens with Beatrice's grimace at a department store mirror while she dons a platinum curled wig. She makes a garish picture--an aging belle whose talent for mimicry has twisted into selfmockery. She feeds on pipe dreams to bolster her comedy, but even these pile up to taunt her selfdeception...
Haled into court on charges of "exhibiting indecent images in public," Polnareff appeared fully clothed-wearing tight, cream satin pants with a matching bolero, a curly wig and his inevitable sunglasses.
