Moment to Moment

A psychiatrist's wife, left alone on the French Riviera during her husband's frequent absences, becomes involved with a young officer who is later shot and left for dead. The result is a ludicrous brew of adultery and attempted murder, directed by Mervyn LeRoy, dressed by Yves Saint-Laurent and photographed by Harry Stradling. Alas, the overlay of gloss and glamour fails to disguise the dreadful script or the inert performances from Jean Seberg (the wife), Sean Garrison (the lover) and Arthur Hill (the cuckolded husband). Only Honor Blackman, as Seberg's helpful neighbour, breathes life into the proceedings. The movie did, however, spawn a hit with its title song, and may have some slight appeal to fans of women's magazines.
