...emphasis on family life and informal entertaining at home. A possible exception to the pattern is New York Investment Banker Maurice Stans, the new Secretary of Commerce, who lives in a Fifth Avenue apartment overlooking Central Park and hunts big game in East Africa; he and his wife Kathleen prefer taking their friends out to top restaurants for dinner...
...bigger one than any two men in the audience. C.F. Mick Jagger or Hendrix. By throwing your head around dramatically, by sweating a lot, by swinging your libidinously sweat-curled hair like an escaped rapist, you get a lot of slaveringly good mileage onstage. This is one reason guys prefer playing the Fillmore instead of Wall Street. The obvious status advantage in our suave college hip intellectual culture are another...
...Clave. The exchange began by accident 14 years ago, soon after the mustachioed little tailor, an expatriate Italian from the mountain village of Bellona near Naples, and his wife Slava opened shop on the Riviera. One day the Florentine ceramist and painter Manfredo Borsi ordered a suit. "If you prefer," Borsi imperiously suggested, "I will pay you with one of my paintings." Sapone did not really prefer.

...Bride Wore Black is Truffaut's most calculated film, yet for all its style and detail, I'm not sure it amounts to very much, and prefer the romantic perception of Soft Skin, Truffaut's best film to date. But you have to give him points: the scenes between Julie (Jeanne Moreau) and the artist (Charles Denner) blend exposition and characterization as cinematically as anything this side of Chabrol. Also Truffaut's obsession with Hitchcock has finally left the realm of shot-copying, resulting in some interesting notions about audience identification, point-of-view cutting, and flashback structure...
