...Henri-Georges Clouzot (The Wages of Fear, Diabolique) is a French film maker whose stock in trade is grafting psychological aberrations onto standard and somewhat sleazy melodrama. In La Prisonnière, his first film in eight years, Clouzot once again mixes an ordinary story with kinky characters, a soupçon of violence, and a touch of Krafft-Ebing just to add some spice. The result is pat, predictable and more than a little distasteful...
...city's nocturnal watering holes. "Come postmidnight, dusk or 4 a.m., and there is Daddy-O, taking large gulps of refreshing nightclub air somewhere on the Left Bank," wrote the London Evening Standard's Paris correspondent. Among his recent companions: Actress Elsa Martinelli and her photographer husband, Henri Dubonnet of the apéritif family, the Maharani of Baroda. And Jackie-O? Last week Mrs. Onassis was reportedly winging into Paris to disengage Ari from the spas and take him to the Canary Islands...
Innate Indifference. Original sin, in contemporary interpretations, is thus seen not as a stigma inherited from Adam but as a statement of the human condition-an idea that most Catholic revisionists defend as being well within the spirit of church teaching.

Viaud was a family friend hired by the Countess de Toulouse-Lautrec to look after her deformed son and keep him away from the bottle. It proved an impossible task. But Lautrec seems to have appreciated Viaud's efforts, and slaved away at his portrait until too weak to stand upright on his maimed legs. It was still unfinished when Lautrec died...
...sixty-two Henri Cartier-Bresson seems to be as much on the move as he ever was. He supposedly does not develop or print his own pictures, entrusting this to a carefully supervised assistant, because he is too busy in the field. His photographs of Parisian students in the streets, taken less than two weeks before the exhibition opened in New York, show his total involvement with contemporary events. His pictures betray a thoroughly contemporary drive to discover what is true about the events, without irony or prejudice of the old or the establishment. Students, arm in arm, stream into...
