| | Timothy Dalton's Web Site - Review of Chanel Solitaire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Arthur (Boy) Capel, Esquire, is the lover of Gabriel "Coco" Chanel, a young woman (Marie-France Pisier), abandoned by her father at an early age, but who, despite that, rose to some prominence as the "stable boy" of a former cavalry-officer-turned-wealthy-horse-breeder (Rutger Hauer). |
 | | Boy, a wealthy Englishman, who wheels and deals in the international coal market, and whose mistresses "are without number," wines and dines Coco, revealing he, too, is someone who has risen from obscurity, having been born "on the wrong side of the blanket," thus being a bastard. |
 | | Boy announces his presence by singing her a brief, popular rhyme, and her comment about his appearing ridiculous in the gymkanas and knee socks of the British officer is as true a statement as was ever uttered on celluloid. |
