...Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Contempt), presently riding the crest of the New Wave, began the festival with his most recent film, Alphaville. His hero, Lemmy Caution, is a cross between Dick Tracy and Flash Gordon, spiced with a touch of Humphrey Bogart. (At one point we catch Caution reading The Big Sleep.) Godard lets his imagination run wild as his comic-strip hero battles the computer-king of a super-mechanized science fiction city.

De Gaulle's catcalls for negotiations have so angered the South Vietnamese that General Ky last June broke off relations with France. So Tixier's assertion that "the injustice committed by General de Gaulle as regards South Viet Nam is inadmissible" fell on ready ears. An unredeemed opponent of Algerian freedom, Tixier made his reputation defending S.A.O. terrorists whom the De Gaulle government brought to trial. Tixier spent all of August touring beaches and resorts, holding forth under a rented...
