Murmur of the Heart. Louis Malle's ripe, witty sketchy of indiscreet bourgeois charm in 50's France is far more deeply thought out than other period pieces on adolescence. Lea Massari plays the complex voluptuary of a mother. As other French directors stagnate and repeat themselves, Mallee may yet emerge as the most original and least gimmicky of the bunch. Be wary: the film plays alongside Heat, the latest by Paul Morrissey (Flesh, Trash). His second stand as surrogate Andy Warhol is full of grotesque actors and grotesque sex which boil down not to the grotesque...

Laurent (Benoit Ferreux) is the youngest son of a prosperous Dijon gynecologist (Daniel Gelin) and his Italian wife (Lea Massari).

Laurent-perhaps because of all this frenetic activity-develops a heart...
...Boys. Margaret originally intended to become a biologist, and took up photography only in order to help pay for her last year at Cornell. Using a secondhand lea Reflex with a cracked lens that her mother had bought for $20, she shot campus scenes and sold them to students. Her early reputation was made in the unlikely field of industrial photography. Where others saw only grime, Bourke-White saw beauty; her camera could find drama and action in a factory. All the major pictures in FORTUNE'S first issue were by Bourke-White...
...life on this path can be described more aptly as "pleasantly tense" than as "blissful." And it is full of surprises: about a month ago Ravenel and Lea Hunt, an assistant teacher of retarded children, began to feel an extraordinary attraction to each other. They had only recently met, and the attraction more perturbed than pleased them both, for each had thought of becoming a whole-timer. They went to Yatiishvaranda in Toronto, and, after long moments of suspense, he informed them that they ought to be married-as soon as possible. He married them yesterday, with the assistance...
