The only drawback to these idyllic surroundings of the Alps is their unsuitability for keeping dogs - for whom Deborah has always had such a soft spot. The most recent, in the days when they were still renting Annebella's farm house at St Jean de Luz for their summer holidays, was an enormous Pyrenean Mountain dog of extraordinary beauty, Guapa, which means just that in Spanish. The land all around St Jean is sheep country, and one day when the family were at lunch, Guapa, with tremendous pride, herded a huge sheep into the living-room, and stood grinning from ear to ear, waiting for praise for what she had done.
'Poor Guapa was only "doing her own thing",' says Deborah, 'and couldn't understand why we were not delighted. There were Peter, my daughters and I all trying to get this sheep out of the room - you have no idea how heavy they are until you meet one socially!' Guapa, alas, had to go, because it was impossible to fence her in, and in the mountainside by Wyhergut there are deer lurking among the pine trees, and cows grazing, whose bells when they come down for the evening in age groups, with mother's bell making the deepest clang, are one of the most evocative sounds for those who have spent any part of their childhood in the Swiss mountains. She found a good home with friends of Annabella's, the exquisite star of Le Million and Hotel du Nord, who now devotes her life to helping the needy. Deborah says: 'She does extraordinary good work in rehabilitating people in Paris, or wherever the need is, and has been a friend of ours for many years.'

A N A S T A S I A - Ingrid Bergman's return to American screens is accomplished in the starry company of Helen Hayes and Yul Brynner in an expertly tooled melodrama about a forlorn girl who might be the only living child of the Czar the Bolsheviks murdered.

BUS STOP - Marilyn Monroe is just dandy as a pathetically untalented night-club warbler in this rambunctious, warm little comedy by William Inge. Don Murray makes an auspicious debut as a boisterous young cowboy who tries to drive her into marriage the way he would an obstreperrous steer.
