Heartfelt tribute

Warning: Spoilers
Film critic and actor Jean-Pierre Bouyxou reminisces about his frequent co-star Lina Romay shortly after she died. While a tad too effusive, Bouyxou nonetheless comes across as quite touchingly sincere in his thoughts and feelings about Lina Romay: He describes Romay affectionately as a "Parisian guttersnipe," talks about how he last saw Romay with her husband Jess Franco at a career retrospective of Franco's work, notes that Romay was a funny and vibrant woman with an anarchist sensibility who cared more about making films than having a career, and relates a priceless anecdote about Franco shooting a scene of a nude Romay doing lascivious things to a statue of Apollo. Bouyxou's comments about how Franco and Romay were inseparable as a couple are especially poignant. Recommended viewing for Lina Romay fans.
