This week's Lilli Palmer Acteurist Oeuvre-view episode is a George Seaton double feature that once again gives us Lilli the sophisticate and Lilli the saint: in The Pleasure of His Company\xa0(1961), she plays the ex-wife of Fred Astaire, an absentee father whose plan to recapture his youth by seducing their daughter into becoming his travelling companion she sets out to foil; while in\xa0The Counterfeit Traitor, she's a member of the German anti-Nazi resistance who imparts a conscience to William Holden's reluctant\xa0spy. And in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto we cover our final Marguerite Duras viewings: her first film,\xa0La Musica, and two from near the\xa0end of her filmography,\xa0Agatha et les lectures illimit\xe9es\xa0and the formally radical\xa0L'homme atlantique.\xa0
