THE STORY: In the words of Walter Kerr in the New York Herald Tribune: “… an attractive and energetic female…has spent 5,000 years tracking down her man, without ever trapping him into matrimony. We first meet her in a wedding gown, in the year 1952, as she is about to make a marriage of convenience with somebody else. But she cannot go through with it.” and she chucks the prospective bridegroom. “This is the cue for the first of several flashbacks, and we pick up our determined lass in the stone age, begging to be tapped by her negligent cave man. Later, we see her as a Roman slave-girl, still on the trail, hot for her lover whose current reincarnation has turned him into a shepherd boy.” In her contemporary manifestation Amanda Phipps discovers that the art critic Heybore, who has come to interview her, is none other that the man she has been in love with for five millennia. Ultimately Amanda meets the fate she has awaited for so many centuries.
