Mar 4th  
The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom*
      
(GB 1968)                                   
Paramount. 93m.

A bra manufacturer's wife has an affair with a meek employee that she keeps in the attic, and the relationship proves to have fruitful consequences for her husband too.
A slight story expanded out unnecessarily with satirical pretensions and mostly over-the-top comic cameos. Quite pacy and pleasant rather than funny.
