...heart and brain behind it. Francols Truffaut, working with Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo, has created a beautiful motion picture that is in many ways more rewarding than the Antoine Doinel series. Mermaid is playing with another Truffaut flick, The Bride Wore Black starring Jeanne Moreau. This one is relatively lightweight, but it's still an eminently enjoyable bit of story-telling. Shows begin...
...while, but it's a technical masterpiece. Besides, everything is great to look at: The film was made on the beautiful island of Reunion off the African coast, and it stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Catherine Deneuve. Still another Truffaut flick, The Bride Wore Black starring the wonderful Jeanne Moreau, is the second feature on the bill...
...film is divided into three stories and a musical interlude, a lilting evocation of the Belle Epoque in a song sung by Jeanne Moreau.

De Broca has come to Boston as a personal favor to Paul Michaud, formerly with West European Studies, now running his association in connection with the Boston Center. Chere Louise, Feb. 8, at 8; The Magnificent...
These would prove central to his scientific romances of the 1890s: The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The First Men in the Moon. Wells saw in Darwinism the basic roots of man's decay: natural selection would eventually separate the weak and the strong into two distinct classes. The powerful class would oppressively dominate the subservient one, using it for whatever means it wished. This theme is best seen in The Time Machine, where the cave-dwelling Morlocks lord over the gentle, but inferior Eloi...
