...until very recently, her American audience ran to cinemaphiles and espresso drinkers-the crowd that goes to Yugoslav film festivals, the people who liked 8½. Her great films-The Lovers, La Notte, Jules and Jim-played mostly in art houses, and some of her films found no U.S. distributor at all. Now, in a turn of taste that is as encouraging as it is surprising, Moreau is everywhere: opposite Burt Lancaster in The Train, Eli Wallach in The Victors, Rex Harrison in The Yellow Rolls-Royce. None of these pictures are really much good-Moreau seems to have wandered...

...ends the film as it was shown in Europe. For U.S. audiences a new and much less ferocious finish has been contrived; Distributor Joe Levine seems to think it's all right to exploit the living but immoral to exploit the dead. Even so, The Ape Woman remains a lacerating and hilarious piece of misanthropy. The wedding procession, at which the bridegroom crassly compels the bride to regale the jeering crowds with a singing commercial for herself, will make most spectators shrivel with shame for their species. And the wedding-night episode, in which the spiv heroically forces himself...
