Storyline:She would dance all night...She""s an enchanting girl, Adam.Not really beautiful.And yet, she has great beauty."As Henri tries to explain to Adam what Lise is really like, we see five different aspects of her personality, conveyed in a montage of dance styles, costumes and color schemes or settings projected on a cafe mirror.In early July, 1932, Z.Smith Reynolds, the youngest 20 year-old son of the cigarette patriarch R.J.Reynolds, was suspiciously murdered with a gunshot wound to the head at the family estate in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.This was not he first time the subject matter was performed.The screenplay by Howard Koch was based on W.Somerset Maugham""s mid-1920s London stage play (that featured Gladys Cooper in the lead role).Then, it was a Broadway play that opened in 1927 (with Katharine Cornell), followed by Paramount Studios"" talkie of the same name in 1929 with Academy-Award nominated Jeanne Eagels (in her sound film debut) as the female protagonist Leslie Crosbie.To capture the terrorists, French gendarmes with cable-cutters snapped the elevator""s thick steel supports, plunging it down the shaft to the ground (with Lois pinned and clinging underneath), as one of the terrorists inadvertently triggered the timer device with only 60 seconds until detonation.He dreaded the thought of "being stared and pointed at as though I were a freak." A second premiere was held a week later in London, and then a third premiere - a "glamorous" event held in Hollywood (at Grauman""s Chinese Theatre) where both Paulette Goddard and Chaplin were in attendance.
