...Lili! How low! "She is no sex bomb!" was Sovietskaya Kultura's left-handed welcome to coltish Leslie Caron, 34, as she flew into Moscow for the Russian premiere of her 1963 picture The L-Shaped Room-in which she lives with a penniless writer in a proletarian cubbyhole. If she were sexier, argued the newspaper's columnist, with something less than perfect logic, "she would have been forgotten long ago." Still, remembering her performances in An American in Paris and Lili, Moscow's Louella sighed approvingly: "She is a fine actress, always believable, and an excellent...
Charles Boyer (who presumably knew what he was doing when he signed on for this movie) is so impressed by Rock's supermanhood that he pleads with him to seduce his priggish psychologist daughter, Leslie Caron, and thereby give her a taste of what she is missing in life.

Grant and Caron endure pretty little hardships, finally try to get married by a chaplain over short-wave radio during a Japanese strafing attack...
...novelty of a grubby Grant. He is miscast as a Bogart, but he makes a sprightly stab at crudity. When his dinghy starts to capsize with a full cargo of sweet young things, one tiny mutineer bites him, and he throws a capful of water in her face. When Caron slaps him, he lets her have it too. When Trevor Howard informs him that the island has a hidden treasure-trove of good Scotch whisky, Grant starts pawing the turf like Pavlov's dog. His engaging brand of rough-house finally proves a point that was never seriously...
