INCOMPARABLE “THREE MURDERESSES" RIOTOUS COMEDY OF A TRIO OF GLAMOROUS GIRLS WHO CONCOCT AN AMAZING PLOT TO MURDER A PLAY-BOY WHOM THEY ALL LOVE Full of gayety and suspense “Three Murderesses”, strangely enough, is a solid criminal comedy, fea- turing three popular, young French stars: Mylene Demongeot, Jacqueline Sassard, Pascale Petit, who play the title roles, and handsome Alain Delon as a charming playboy who makes violent love tO three girls who are friends while he is engaged to a wealthy South American young woman. Produced by Paul Graetz, “Three Murderesses” strikes a new note in film entertainment. At least two of the co-stars, Alain Delon and Mylene Deo- mongeot, bid fair to become popular among movie- goers in this country. Miss Deomongeot is the personification of sex, 1 but also she is one of the most talented young ac- tresses presently on the screen. Young Delon has all the qualifications that brought the late James Dean universal favor with moviegoers of all ages and particularly those of the feminine gender. Gifted with an exceptional physique and a blend of charm and virility, this Paris-born young man has declined offer after offer from talent scouts of American studios. Only 23 years old today, when he was 17, he served with the French army in Indo- China. After being honorably discharged from service three years ago, he returned to Paris. Since then he has scored in three French motion pictures: “Three Murderesses”, “Quand La Femme S’En Mele” and “Sois Belle Et Tais-Toi”. His natural gaiety, his youth, talent and debannair manner serve him advantageously in “Three Murderesses”. The exhilarating story of “Three Murderesses” opens at a wedding reception. Agathe (Pascale Petit) is confronted by Julien (Delon), her ex-boy friend. Although uninvited to the reception, the young man causes a sensation, especially with Sabine (Mylene Deomongeot), Agathe’s closest friend. Although aware of Julien’s reputation as a “love- ’em-and-leave-’em” rake, Sabine is confident of her ability to control him and readily accepts a date that he promptly fails to keep. Later, she consents to another date with him, at a time when she is with Helene (Jacqueline Sassard), a friend, on a day off from her studies at a convent. Julien, though feigning to submitting to Sabine’s amorous wiles, finds her friend Helene more interesting. A few days later Helene, at the convent, is sum- moned to the visitor’s room to see her “cousin”, and is surprised to find Julien. He professes love for her. She, in the meantime, has found him most attractive and joyously accepts his profession that his every thought is qf her. Agathe returns from her honeymoon. She meets Julien and resumes her pre-marriage affair with him. At a reunion, the three girls, each boasting of her new found happiness, learn the truth: Julien has been running around with all three of them. Julien learns of their discovery. He would like to hold Agathe, but, at the same time, continue to court Sabine and Helene. As the girls attempt to figure out what to do with Continued on page 76 27
