...every film in the Criterion list is a textbook classic. Quite a few are just hugely enjoyable bagatelles that deserve to be treated with care. As you probably already know, Donen's 1963 comic thriller is about a young American widow (the ever-stylish Audrey Hepburn) on the run in Paris from a trio of criminals who think she can lead them to the fortune her late husband stole from them.

Young men in t-shirts playing no-shtick rock in 2006, the Black Keys attract a wide variety of fans, from young indie-rock fans to 50-year-olds eager to see classic rockers that aren’t sagging pitifully in a way that strikes too close to home. The crowd at the Avalon came as no surprise, then, and tossle-headed twenty-somethings rubbed sweaty elbows with drunken father figures.The opening act, The Black Angels, took some warming...
