Where the Hot Wind Blows (Titanus; Embassy). "Gigolo!" hoots a smalltime Italian racketeer (Yves Montand) when his son tries to run away with a wealthy married woman (Melina Mercouri). In shame the boy abandons her. His father then looks the woman over, approves of his son's selection and announces suavely: "You cannot go home. My room is at your disposal."

But he is known as a serious actor, not as he is in this film. We did not like it; it was without art, without ideas, bourgeois...
...Make Love. A trumped-up plot to bring Marilyn Monroe and France's rugged, gaunt-faced, charming Yves Montand together takes the long way around to Marilyn's arms, since Montand is an unlikely billionaire who wants to be loved for himself alone. The game is forced...
