Dr. Strangelove by Sterling Hayden
Three delightful French plays about different aspects of Love. ZENEIDA, by Louis de Cahusac, is a fairy tale about love being blind--but says that true love can happen anyway, regardless of looks. It's a story filled with charm and grace. THE FOLIES OF LOVE, by Jean-Francois de Regnard, demonstrates how far love will go to have its way. The heroine, who's being oppressed by her aged tutor, Albert, goes to emotional extremes, feigning madness, to escape his unwanted affections. THE CAT WHO TURNED INTO A WOMAN, by Eugene Scribe, is a light-hearted comedy about a young man who falls in love with his cat, believing that she's turned into a woman. But the heroine just continues chasing around a ball of twine and licking cream from her fingers. Great fun Love is eternal, these dramas suggest, and never ceases to be interesting and compelling (and entertaining ) to the human animal.
Sterling Hayden (1916-1986) is most widely known for his acting (Asphalt Jungle, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, and The Godfather). However, throughout his life he punctuated his acting stints with bouts of adventuring, or wandering. He started out as a humble dory fisherman in the Grand Banks, captained a two-masted brig from Boston to Tahiti, and sailed around the world twice, all before he appeared on film. After his first Hollywood period, he enlisted in the marines under a pseudonym, eventually working as an undercover agent for the OSS. He split his later years between a canal boat in Paris and an apartment in Sausalito where he wrote much of his novel, Voyage.
