...dance set to four Purcell songs, he presents his own outrageously funny version of the old warhorse Le Spectre de la Rose, leaping and swooping with abandoned ardor around his seated beloved (Teri Weksler). But unlike Fokine's blithe spirit, Morris does not finish by flying out the window. Instead, he and Weksler thrash out their all too mundane frustrations and resentments before he finally carries her off, high above his head, as if to reassert his ideal of love. One Charming Night shows both sides of Morris' creation: ingratiating invention and, occasionally, youthful overkill of a good idea...

But posing for the pictures was a very strange experience. Putting what I thought was a "Playboy-bunny" expression on my face, sticking hips and chest out, doing all the things that are required for that sort of pose...
...some, but not to others. The most decor-conscious shun it, but it attracts many celebrities such as Jack Lemmon, Woody Allen and Bill Blass. Says Blass: "I love it because it has great food and because it is a bistro. I like to stop at the kitchen window and talk to Andre about what we will eat. I also like not having to jump up and embrace someone every other minute, and I like seeing the mix of plain and fancy people...
