This first, full-fledged exhibition of Picasso's theater period was organized by the Musée's new curator, Denis Milhau, 32. Casting about for a splashy debut, it occurred to him that nobody, nowhere, had yet focused exclusively on this aspect of Picasso's prodigious career. Mindful that "the biggest collector of Picassos is Picasso," Milhau sought an interview. Four months later he got in to see the painter-who turned out to be delighted with the idea: "Bon. D'accord.

...disappointing double debut as a scenarist and second banana, Nightclub Comedian Woody Allen has written a small flat role for himself and fleshed it out with perhaps a dozen workable gags. The rest of the dialogue is doggedly juvenile, so Director Clive Donner whips it into a frenzy, rummaging eclectically through a whole range of comedy styles, like a man tying tin cans to the tale of an old torn...
