...this deliberate movement can break down. When attackers put together complex plays and flick the puck over the blue line to home in on Parent, he is lucky if he sees some shots as they leave a stick from behind a blur of battling skaters. Worse, many shots carom off players or their sticks in front of the goal; coming off curved sticks, slap shots spin so hard that they often drop like sinkers crossing home plate. None of these difficulties seem to trouble Parent: "If I see the puck leave the stick, I know exactly where it is going...
...unable to place his entire body in the way of a shot, his glove or stick will flick out like a lizard's tongue. He works hard at keeping all his puck-stopping tools well honed to assure quicker, more precise movements. Recently when he missed two high slap shots, Parent dissected his mistake and remembered that during pregame practices, Coach Shero had asked shooters to concentrate on low shots at the goal. The next day Parent asked them to fire 50 high blasts to help him get his rhythm back...
...then. That famous "it has altered the face of an art form" review was almost a watershed in her work. But the problem was that she shifted the emphasis the wrong way--toward sex, and played into the hands of the newsmagazines who turned it into a lurid porno flick at worst and a "shockingly honest" film at best, though they would have done that anyway.

In the sixties film festivals tended to showcase a great actor or director, and the nearly constant Bergman and Bogart festivals at places like the Brattle Square are holdovers from those days. Now they tend to focus on particular genres. These festivals aren't Hitchoock festivals or even Radley Metzger festivals; they aim to show the whole range of detective films and erotic films, the good, the bad, and the commercial, the typical...
...much fun being dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world, as Garbo found out. The current titleholder is Paris-born Catherine Deneuve, 31, who endures from flick to flick, her glory undiminished by bad scripts and usually poor direction. Recently she arrived in the U.S. to start filming Robert Aldrich's Hustle. But before she left Paris, she allowed herself to be used to promote her latest movie, Zig-Zig, by posing in Esmeralda's, an erotic saloon in Pigalle, one of the few locales where a girl can get a laugh these days...
