WIDTH="401"><div> The Plot:</div> <bR> <div> Paul has arrived at an elegant Mexican resort where he's expecting to meet his friend, gigolo Ramon de Vega for a fishing trip. As he's arranging a plane to take them to Puerto Seguara, Diana Murrow interrupts, and ask the desk clerk whether her tiger has been delivered yet. Paul is clearly amused, and finds Diana next to him at the pool later. She flaunts her wealth, but says she also has a regular job, working for a magazine. They have dinner together, and Diana is wearing a very expensive-looking diamond necklace which she draws attention to.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 328 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18df902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Sharon Farrell, Joan Hackett and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul points out that their directory is out of date</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> The next day, at a quiet location, Paul encounters Diana's maid, reading very intellectual books. When he arrives at Diana's room to pick her up for dinner that evening, Paul discovers there a copy of Bradley Dennison Executive & Professional Directory.Having guessed that the girls were putting on an act, he points out that it's six months old, and he won't be in the next one - no longer a partner in an important law firm. Within the next two years he will have gone through all his money living the good life, and will be unemployed and penniless - “desirable but not very eligible.” Diana is outraged at the implication.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 328 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18de902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Sharon Farrell and Joan Hackett in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Diana feigns outrage at Paul's suggestions</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> But Paul insists that he doesn't want them to waste such a wonderful performance on a non-productive audience. He says it was almost perfect with only a few slip-ups, and asks when Louise would have the chance to wear the fancy necklace. Though Diana tries to keep up the pretence, Louise tells her to give up, that Paul has seen through them. But they say that they didn't just look him up in the book, they really like him, and Paul asks where they ever came up with this scheme. The girls are fed up with the odds and concepts - that single men are considered eligible, but women are just sex objects. </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 225 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18e2c2c80.jpg" border=0 width="194" height="200" ALT="Joan Hackett and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="18e3c3c80.jpg" border=0 width="195" height="200" ALT="Sharon Farrell,and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The girls explain their strategy to Paul</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> So, this year, they decided to take a very special vacation - two weeks in Mexico, two weeks in Bermuda - at posh places where they would merchandise themselves to meet a rich and single man.</div> <bR> <div> Wearing the same size, they pooled their money on a fabulous wardrobe for the occasion, and bought a necklace only an expert with a lupe would recognize as fake.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 326 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18e1902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Joan Hackett, Sharon Farrell and Fernando Lamas in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Ramon serenades a starry-eyed Diana</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Having agreed to be supportive, Paul is shocked when he comes downstairs the next evening to find his friend Ramon serenading Diana who has stars in her eyes.</div> <bR> <div> Later, Louise tells Paul with delight how rich Ramon is.

He even begins to raise his voice in excitement when considering what a large injection of money could do for him, and Paul must get him to lower his voice, for fear of the truth coming out.  Paul then asks what Ramon would do if Diana were not rich, and what would she think when she finds he isn't. Ramon gives much the same answer the girls gave to this - that the deceived partner would just be pleased to have a magnificent spouse.</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 327 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="18ee902c0.jpg" border=0 width="400" height="300" ALT="Fernando Lamas and Ben Gazzara in Run For Your Life" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Paul listens in horror at Ramon's plans</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="401"><div> Paul and Louise are each resting quietly when Ramon and Diana spring upon them, shrieking with ecstatic excitement that he proposed and she said yes.

Ramon looks pleased, then says that he doesn't have ten thousand acres. For every defect in his life, she comes up with an answer countering it (such as she'd wash her hair in the rain which came through the leaking roof of his house).
