...presented in such outrageous broad strokes that the credibility of the couple's supposedly sincere romance is under mined. There are a few funny peripheral moments, especially those that focus on the mores of video dating, but there are also stale gags about wayward cars and coitus interruptus. In this context, Altman's allusions to his better films are particularly depressing. Like Nashville, A Perfect Couple features a climactic death, weird minor characters who traipse mysteriously through the action, as well as a lengthy musical score, sung by Sheila's rock group. There are even moments when...
...that he seems incapable of staging an awkward shot. The movie appears to flow directly from his subconscious, just as surrealist art is meant to do. Fernando Rey, a veteran of a decade of Buñuel films, finds as much baroque humor in his many bouts with coitus interruptus as he did in the unfinished eating scenes of The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

Said Lemmon: "If that didn't turn me off, nothing would." Despite such traumas, the first time was never the last for the Flemings' subjects. Actress Mae West, 83, who first performed...
...France in 1967, evidently most of the French agree with the late President Charles de Gaulle's celebrated dictum that the pill is a mere "diversion," which the state has no obligation to provide for its citizens. Some 54% of the men said that they still practice coitus interruptus, and most of the women prefer the unreliable "rhythm method." Only 9% of the women take the pill, while some 30% of all those polled said that they are opposed to any form of birth control. Many were skittish about answering questions regarding masturbation and homosexuality, and some declined...
