In life as in art, not all escapes are successful. At week's end, police arrested Remling's alleged accomplices and recaptured the escapee himself in a Leslie, Mich., bar only 15 miles from the prison...
...since no one is interested in live Jews these days. Returning from his interview at the studio. Michel rescues a young student who has been beaten by the police at a demonstration and helps him escape, largely because of his childhood experiences as a fugitive. Unable to understand his rescuer, the student mocks the study of film making as an occupation and needless Michel incessantly about his "bourgeois" life style as they drive to the frontier. Just before they reach the border. Michel stops the car next to a field and walks off, announcing that he is going to search...
