Gratified by this interpretation, the French government advanced the moviemakers substantial quantities of war material, cordoned off large areas of Paris while the cameras were rolling, and sponsored the U.S. premiere. The producers for their part contributed a big budget and a vast cast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Charles Boyer, Leslie Caron, Jean-Pierre Cassel, George Chakiris, Alain Delon, Kirk Douglas, Glenn Ford, Gert Frobe, Yves Montand, Tony Perkins, Simone Signoret, Robert Stack, Orson Welles...
...excellent Godard films shown, "Masculine Feminine," a violent and genuinely witty film about young people in Paris, was most popular, and "Pierrot Le Fou" was the best -- one of Godard's greatest achievements.

Someone suggests that he could turn his suicidal impulse to good account by insuring his life for $2,000,000 and letting himself be murdered. He does-and then meets Stripper Ursula, a girl worth living for. Fleeing a corps of assassins, the lovers go to the Himalayas and back by junk, ricksha, sampan, elephant, airplane...
