The story originally took place
in the Paris of the pre-World War II,
but has been updated to the present
day. I think it would have been
funnier as a period piece, but I
suppose the budget wouldn't allow
such extravagances. Our hero,
autobiographically named, Miller, is
a writer, down and out and looking
for work, any type of work. This
gives us a great segment where Rip
Torn teaches little French urchins
about the physiology of love. Like
the Biology Department's films on
reproduction, the class becomes
quite popular.
