...Brook's film as in Flaubert's book, the heroine (Jeanne Moreau) lives in a French provincial town and is married to a prosperous and proper bourgeois who is even duller than she is. She is bored, she falls in love with a younger man (Jean-Paul Belmondo), she loses him. At this point, Flaubert's heroine kills herself. Brook's heroine, alas, owes rather less to Flaubert than she does to Freud. Her drama is not a tragedy of society but a crisis of identity. "She wants to live a life, anybody's life...
Mistaken Impression. Daughter of a U.S. forest ranger, Jean Saubert, 21, learned to ski from her father, who took her to Sun Valley, Idaho, for two weeks' vacation once a year. The family settled in Cascadia, Ore., just 40 miles from Hoodoo Ski Bowl, and by the time she was 14, Jean was good enough to win the slalom at the National Junior Championship in Reno. But it is a long way from the junior championships to the Olympics, and nobody paid much attention when she finished sixth in the giant slalom...
...turned out to be the best woman slalomer in the world. In the "Criterium of the First Snow" at Val d'Isère, France, last month, Jean Saubert (rhymes with "Aw, Bert!") won the giant slalom and swept the women's combined Alpine championship.

Last week at Grindelwald, Switzerland, all of Europe's top skiers were on hand for the winter's biggest pre-Olympic competition. When lack of snow forced cancellation of the downhill race...

On her first run in the special slalom, Jean caught an edge and finished 5 sec. behind France's Marielle Goitschel. "I'll have to go awful fast on the second run," she said-and onlookers gasped as she zipped through the 52 gates in the fastest time of the day, only to be disqualified for missing a gate. That was just a tune-up. Next day, in the giant slalom-a combination slalom and downhill that demands sheer straightaway speed as well...
...Fantastic," said Toni Sailer, who swept every gold medal in men's Alpine skiing at the 1956 Olympics. "I would bet on her to win at Innsbruck." Paris' Le Monde rhapsodized over Jean's "sang-froid," her sureness, her precision, and L'Equipe celebrated her "sweetness of manner, happy healthiness, and dazzling smile." Jean was busy talking about teaching school and joining the Peace Corps, and when people asked her why she skied so much faster than everybody else, she just smiled sweetly and said: "Gee, I don't know...
