...Ultimate. In L'Ascenseur pour I'Echafaud (U.S. title: Frantic], Malle put Moreau under an honest light and wisely let his camera linger. The film was nothing special, but it did accomplish one thing: it proposed a new ideal of cinematic realism, a new way to look at a woman. All the drama in the story was in Moreau's face-the face that had been hidden behind cosmetics and flattering lights in all her earlier films. When Malle made The Lovers the following year, it was obvious who his woman would be. For one thing...
...what she says always tells less than what she does. In the small dimension of the modern film, with its total emphasis on interior values, a subtle vocabulary of gesture and expression is crucial to any good actor.

The Air Force replied somewhat testily that it should be given an overall mission and allowed to accomplish it in its own way. Last week, for the first time, it got its wish. The tactical objective of the strike near Ban Ban was confined solely to Laos. The bridge over the Nam Mat was instrumental in maintaining the flow of Red supplies to the Pathet Lao-the stretch of Route 7 that was hit is too distant to form part of the Ho Chi Minh trail...
