...Izvestia, SOVIET MAN IS AGAIN STORMING THE COSMOS. But this time, Soviet Woman was storming right along. Two days later, Bykovsky was joined in orbit by the first female in space, Lieut. Valentina Vladimirovna Chereshkova, 26, at the controls of Vostok VI. In radio and television transmission to the breathless spectators on the ground, he referred to himself as "The Hawk," while she called herself "The Seagull...

Much of the plot is forthrightly told in the first person by Charrier's own voice-an earnest of Chabrol's continuing drift away from the Marienbadian labyrinths and the Breathless ambiguities of some of his fellow New Wave moviemakers. Plain moviegoers are going to like...
