...eyed swamp drama starring Mary Steenburgen as Novelist Marjorie Rawlings, and Carlos Saura's dance film, Carmen. But for the four French films in competition-Jean Becker's One Deadly Summer, Patrice Chereau's The Wounded Man, Jean-Jacques Beineix's The Moon in the Gutter and even Bresson's L'Argent-the locals saved their special scorn. At the end of each of these films the crowd whistled derisively and stomped their feet. When Bresson, 81, appeared onstage closing night, he was bombarded with boos. L'Argent at least had its partisans...

"I live on adrenaline," De Lorean said flatly 13 years ago, when he was a golden boy at General Motors. He was still grabbing for gusto last year: "A guy's gotta do what he's gotta do.

He flips up Higginbottom's coattails and, performing a maneuver familiar to most 11-year-olds as a "wedgle," pulls the elastic of his victim's underwear far into the pitiless...
...Barks, 81, was raised on a farm in Oregon, had a total of eight years of school and worked at every kind of job from mule skinning to lumberjacking. He was 26 and heating rivets on a construction gang when he mailed off some cartoons to "a little gutter magazine." The cartoons led to a series of magazine jobs that eventually landed him at the Disney Studios story department, which he quit ("I didn't feel free") after six years. "I was going to raise chickens in the San Jacinto Mountains," he recalls, but a comic-book publisher with...
