...customs of Christmas are many, but none are more enduring than the creation of a crèche, centered about the watching Mary and the Christ child asleep in a manger. The magnificent 18th century creche on TIME'S cover this week is one of the famous Neapolitan presepios that delighted King Charles III of Naples and his queen, who sewed garments of silk and velvet for such exquisitely wrought figurines. Using the simplest of materials-vegetable fibers on wire skeletons, wooden hands and feet, earthenware heads-noted Italian sculptors created these figures, which now enact the Christmas story...

This is the metaphor at the core of this cruel, powerful picture from France, in which the New Wave of cinematic creation matches the high-water mark established by Black Orpheus (TIME, Nov. 16). Like that film, The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) is the work of an unknown: a 27-year-old cinema critic named Francois Truffaut, who made the film for only $110,000.
