...Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Contempt), presently riding the crest of the New Wave, began the festival with his most recent film, Alphaville. His hero, Lemmy Caution, is a cross between Dick Tracy and Flash Gordon, spiced with a touch of Humphrey Bogart. (At one point we catch Caution reading The Big Sleep.) Godard lets his imagination run wild as his comic-strip hero battles the computer-king of a super-mechanized science fiction city. Neon signs flash mathematical formulas across the screen, and the computer growls instructions from what looks like a CBS recording studio...

Explains Warhol: "It makes me mindless, and I paint better." After gallery openings in Manhattan, the black-tie gatherings often adjourn...
Remember Francaise Dorleac in That Man from Rio? She instilled in that chef d'oeuvre two simple messages: 1) Women are trouble; 2) If you've got to ask whether they're worth it, well, you'd better just skedaddle right on out of Belmondo's league. Jean-Luc Goddard has embraced this prehistoric theme, Paris, and Anna Karina, in a long, zany bear...
