...point of sending children to school?" he asked. "We are backward, and whatever we do shall never rise to the level of other peoples. Anyway, an educated population is difficult to govern." He grew increasingly impervious to Western influence, despite his summer visits to the royal villa at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera. By the time he took the throne in 1959, after the old King died at 74, Savang Vatthana seemed to have sunk into a torpor that could not be shaken by the fast-paced world around him. One Western diplomat, after a session with...

Chabrol and Truffaut wondered if Godard was trying to finance a film. They came to his aid, the money was amicably restored, and more was honorably found. Breathless (A Bout de Souffle) went...
Adultery is the cleverest of the seven episodes-a cynical little satire on a well-known Gallic institution: the ménage à trois. While dining out one day, a young bachelor (played by Jean-Paul Belmondo, the post-existentialist punk in Breathless, who proves roguishly engaging in romantic comedy) gives a neglected wife (Dany Robin) the old let's-do-it look.
