Betty and Brad have a comfortable suburban home, two kids, a housekeeper, bullfight posters on the wall and multivolumes of Will and Ariel Durant on the bookshelves. They are not happy, a condition that has only fleetingly to do with children or interior decoration. Brad plays around; Betty plays alone...

...bars offered grinding nudes within tactile distance of the audience. The town's foul old jail became infamous as a place where unwary tourists might find themselves held incommunicado for so much as a traffic ticket. Even in the 1960s, when the city was already popular as a bullfight mecca, one of its few flattering U.S. notices was the appropriation of its name by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass...
