After Contempt, Godard achieved yet another masterpiece in The Married Woman, a film, according to Godard, "in black and white." In this film, Godard attempted to portray the dilemma of modern women, forced to make "black and white" decisions in a masculine-dominated society, yet incapable of doing so. Godard insist on exploring every tiny aspect of the art of film; even the use of black and white film, normally taken for granted, is done with a purpose. Godard continues to make two or three films a year, and his latest efforts, Alphaville and Pierrot le Fou, while not quite...
After the war and Hiroshima, Brecht revised the play to include the problem of the scientist knowing sin. Brecht also began to portray the great physicist as the great proletarian who unwittingly becomes the leader of the masses.

Frozen Instant. To evoke Pasternak's poetic imagery, Lean led a camera unit almost to the Arctic Circle, hired Lapland nomads to portray Siberian refugees.

Before running off the page, it traces Lyndon's lineage back to his paternal great-great-great-great-grandmother, Sukey Johnson, whose date and place of birth are apparently unrecorded. Dozens of family photographs portray L.B.J.'s sturdy forebears, from Father Sam, looking astonishingly like L.B.J. on a bad day, to Maternal Great-Grandfather George Washington Baines Sr., a fire-breathing Baptist preacher who was president of Baylor University and the deadliest shot in the county. His favorite hymn, Rebekah attests, was Alas...
...central question which the Operation Exodus incident raises is, why did Eisenstadt introduce his resolution when he did? While he and Mrs. Hicks portray the ban on busing as a defense of the neighborhood school, over 1000 students had been bused last year, without raising a public objection from anyone on the School Committee. If Eisenstadt had not put the busing plan to a vote, it probably would not have become a partisan issue...
