that talked about the importance of having a meeting prior to ever starting to shoot a film.

And it was called the Bagel Meeting.

And everybody sat around and read the script and talked about the story.

So we, but mostly Les, invented the story of Victoria.

And the story became the holy grail, the touchstone,

Victoria was a married woman, 36 years old, living in London.

Her husband was a barrister.

Her mother, who was deceased, was French.

Her father, who was still living, was a very successful businessman.

Victoria was introduced to fashion and luxury and the importance of being feminine by her French mother.

When her mother passed away, tragically killed in a car accident, Victoria inherited money from her mother.

So she opened a lingerie business.

It was a way for her to honor the Frenchness of her mother.

So even though she was English, raised in England, had all of this refined English sensibility, she still loved and appreciated the romance, the fantasy of French femininity.

I am sure that our fantasy Victoria and her husband had a good, healthy sex life.

But they would never be blatant about it.
