Weekend, Jean-Luc Godard's version of the apocalypse, will undoubtedly be reviewed at greater length when some enterprising distributor brings it to Boston; it is at once a film so brilliant and so infuriating thta it not only provokes controversy in a given audience but within any single mind. Renata Adler's answer to reconciling its disparate elements was her suggestion to walk out and have a cup of Colombian coffee during the dull parts; I really haven't got the nerve to go that far, and suggest only that you accept the film's steady degeneration after...
PETER BOGDANOVICH'S Targets, a low-budget oddity of considerable merit, snuck into Boston last week on the bottom half of an exploitation bill at the Center. Paramount, the distributor, doesn't know how to handle the film--a realistic shocker about an All-American boy-turned-sniper on the rampage--and despite good reviews and box office on its initial theatrical engagements, they stuck a plea for gun control arbitrarily before the credits, then decided not to open the film at all.

When the fourth morning breaks sunny and warm in the harbor of Nassau, it is a relaxed group that piles into the tender to be taken ashore.

Daley relished that role for himself, and he let Washington know that he did not like the competition. According to Moynihan, Johnson told OEO "to keep community action programs as quiet as possible...
Helga's creator is an energetic German film distributor named Hanns Eckelcamp, who thought that "the development of human life" might make a jolly subject for a feature film. He slapped together Helga on a budget of $200,000 and watched in astonishment as the film grossed $3,500,000 in Germany alone. Inspired by Helga's triumph, other producers quickly jumped into the enlightenment-movie business. Among the titles that have been doing boffo business in Germany are Miracle of Love, The Perfect Marriage, and You, an account of masturbation and its tension-easing benefits narrated...
