Louise, a rich young girl from Saskatchewan comes to Paris to take a course in art, and in a pension haunted by artists and their models she meets Max, a lady-charmer of uncertain origin. Max follows the path of "non-involvement" because to him art must remain pure; to become involved in anything leads inevitably to action, and action means failure to some degree. So he paints pictures in his mind, writes poems in his head, and plays ("brilliantly") a violin without strings. Louise manages to involve him, however, and gets both Max and her courses mixed up. Produced by Mario Prizek Written by Lister Sinclair Cast: Corinne Conley .......... Louise Lloyd Bochner James Doohan Anna Reiser
