...bland a story Deneuve brings, of course, her exquisite face and presence-eerily evocative of a warmer Grace Kelly. There is something incongruous about a 9-to-5 Deneuve; she knows it, and plays straight a brief scene where, as Tired Working Girl, she soaks her feet in a basin. The day she quits her job she leaps back into bed-fully clothed. These moments lend life to a minor, if remarkably accurate evocation of a certain sort of life. But it gives Deneuve a chance only to mark time until she can slip into something less comfortable...

...mercury stood at 30° below zero, and the rosy Arctic twilight suffused the snow with an eerie blush when a DC-3, equipped with ski pontoons, bounced to a landing on the ice of Foxe Basin north of Hudson Bay. The first passenger off the plane, Judge William Morrow, hurried to the nearby community hall, which was redolent of blubber, untanned sealskin and oil. Without bothering to shed his mukluks (heavy sealskin boots), he pulled on the traditional black robe, white collar and tabs, and red sash of his office. Court was in session. For the tiny...
