Note to players: Specific term required, in either English or the native language. In a film titled for this sort of person, the female lead nearly drowned during a scene in which her character water skis behind a stolen boat. That film titled for this sort of person, whose budget ballooned due to the costs of building a replica of the title structure, climaxes with a dance scene set to music by Public Enemy and Johann Strauss during a fireworks display. To address an obscenity accusation against a 1958 film titled for this sort of person, Potter Stewart remarked (*) “I know it when I see it” in his opinion on the Supreme (-5[1])Court case Jacobellis v. Ohio. The star of that Louis Malle (“mal”) film, Jeanne Moreau (“zhun mo-ROH”), narrates a 1992 film titled for this sort of person in which Tony Leung Ka-fai plays a Chinese businessman who seduced Marguerite Duras (“dew-ROSS”). For 10 points, the title of a 1991 Leos Carax film describes the protagonists as what sort of people “on the [Pont-Neuf] (10[1])bridge”? ■END■ (0[1])
