...affair between father (David Niven) and daughter (Jean Seberg), which takes place mostly on the French Riviera, is not physical. Incest, as this story sees it, is emotional infantilism-the fear of life, the compulsion to security, the marriage with death.

The most successful of the Parisian rock 'n' rollers is a 31-year-old self-styled gypsy who goes by the name of Mac-Kac (real name: René Reilles). A jazz drummer, Mac took to rocking after...
