...French student revolutionaries) but it contrasts well with the other-facets of the film. For example, having established a motif of red paint on white walls, the multi-shaded greens of the train and apartment-house assassination sequences make the real world a complex support of Francis Jeanson's assertion that the students are drasticalliy oversimplifying. But the ending replaces conclusive directorial statement with irony, and signifies that Godard didn't know what kind of statement he wanted to make. I saw La Chinoise in Paris when it opened, and report regrettably that the color of the American prints...
Actually, says Tourist Bureau Chairman Louis Jeanson, 74, who, together with the local antique dealer, is in charge of the campaign, most of those hinky-dinky ditties about her were untrue. She was not a mademoiselle at all, but a tall, slim widow named Marie Lecoq who worked as a waitress at the Café de la Paix.

...manifesto's resounding effect is largely attributable to the great popular interest in the "Jeanson trial." Professor Francis Jeanson was the leader of an underground network composed largely of intellectuals, Moslem Algerians, and former resistance fighters, supporting the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN).

Almost all were under 30, most of them wore the corduroy jackets, sandals, beards and basin hairdos familiar in the narrow streets of the Latin Quarter. They were members of the "Jeanson" organization, accused of much more than mere distaste for government policies and practices. They were charged with smuggling money out of France to buy arms and munitions for the F.L.N. columns fighting the French in Algeria. All but six of the 25 were French men and women-teachers, mathematicians, TV producers, actors...
...Francis Jeanson, the leader of the group, is a former professor of philosophy and onetime secretary of France's literary angry man, Jean-Paul Sartre. Hollow-chested, tuberculous Jeanson escaped the police raid that caught his followers. Three weeks after the raid, Jeanson further mortified the police by holding a secret press conference in a Left Bank hideout, where he defended his organization on the grounds that Algerian independence is inevitable and, when it comes, F.L.N. leaders should know that not all French men opposed them...
