Lost Appetites

Moment to Moment. For his 75th movie, Director Mervyn LeRoy (Little Women, Little Caesar) takes on a case of adultery in France and loses it. While Heroine Jean Seberg languishes around Cannes in St. Laurent originals, her Psychiatrist Husband Arthur Hill leaves her and goes traipsing through Europe on behalf of mental health. Of course, Jean meets a smooth young Navy ensign (Sean Garrison) who seems uncertain whether he is supposed to be wearing his uniform or modeling it.

Impulsively, Jean invites the ensign home to admire the Provencal decor and share her chicken salad, and in no time at all she is half mad with guilt over "some sort of animal hunger" that has driven them together. Looks more like vegetable hunger, really, but whatever has got into them doesn't agree with Sean. He turns nasty. They quarrel. A gun goes off.

The one-shot adulteress makes her next big mistake by trying to dispose of a body that may or may not be dead. Sean eventually reappears, recovered from his wound but suffering from amnesia, and the cuckolded psychiatrist has to help him relive everything that's happened. In every crisis, Jean turns to Neighbor Honor Blackman, a swinging divorcee. The seductive Honor gives Moment to Moment the only moments worth remembering.
