Susan Douglas, Hugo Haas, | Albert Bassérman and Warren Wil- liam.. “The Private Affairs of Bel Ami"| is being released by United Artists and is slated to bow in at the Capi- tol Theatre tonight. | ‘The story of this highly entertain- ing film is set in Paris during the |early '80s, with Sanders playing the role of an ambitious French jour- | nalist who uses his audacious charm, wit and matchless arrogance with womenr to further his career. The part is a perfect one for him, and the dialogue, threaded as it is with de Maupassant epigrams that are as biting as they are amusing, will do much to encourage discussion on the | |part of women who generally are on the receiying end of his barbed wit- ticisms.
