Polanski is 'marvelous' husband, wife says

Film director Roman Polanski's wife says she "understands perfectly" that women were shocked by the 32-year-old sex case revived by her husband's arrest in Switzerland for possible extradition to the US. 

But she says that in the 1970s, when the crime occurred, society viewed sex and drugs in a different light.

Actress Emmanuelle Seigner says her husband - who pleaded guilty to sex with an American minor, then fled to France - is a "marvelous" man. She described to Elle magazine appearing on Friday her feelings after the 76-year-old Polanski was jailed in Switzerland for more than 60 days.

He was transferred December 4 to house arrest in the Swiss resort of Gstaad.

Seigner said she feels she's "falling into a well ... and this long fall won't stop."
