Painless? Suicide is Breathless!

Go! New York Herald Tribune! Yell it, Jean! I think that Marcel Proust once owned that condo. Belmondo never acts – he’s just Belmondo. You’re no Liz Taylor – no Egyptian queen – So, New York Herald Tribune! Your big scene! Were you too young to play the chick in “Hondo”? This is the age of “Cuando, Cuando, Cuando” – No singer, you? Lee Marvin’s never been! You didn’t do the cop shows (I know why), or enter those kung-fu things, like The Dragon: auditioning is hard. The FBI observed you as you tried to paint your wagon. Was Iwo Jima where you chose to die, or just a place for guys to pin a flag on?
