...that a visitor wished to speak with him in the hall. There Foreman was confronted by Melvin Powers, the hulking drifter whom he had successfully defended along with Candy Mossier, 49, in the celebrated 1964 murder of Multimillionaire Jacques Mossier. Powers, 27, was incensed over Foreman's suit to obtain legal fees involving several hundred thousand dollars from Powers' Aunt Candy. "Look you bastard, I'm mean," raged Powers, gesturing threateningly. "I'm tough too," replied the husky lawyer. Then, as onlookers gaped, Powers went on: "Don't forget. I've already killed...
...hotel room, going out only once before morning to talk to a man he identified as a clerk. Russell E. Peachey, actually a co-owner of the Shiretown Inn, later told TIME Correspondent Frank Merrick that he did indeed see Kennedy at 2:25 a.m., dressed in a suit coat and trousers that appeared dry. Kennedy complained that party noise from an adjacent building was keeping him awake, and inquired what the time was. To Peachey, Kennedy did not seem to be acting or talking strangely. As in the phase of his story concerning his escape from the Oldsmobile...
...technicians gathered around the large pool to feast on barbecued chicken and beef and corn on the cob. Before the sun was down the celebrants numbered close to 3,000, and one of them-a shapely blonde-had been heaved into the pool. A man in a business suit dived after her. Another dived after him. A bikini-clad go-go dancer go-goed it on the diving board (to the low-down accompaniment of a group called "The Astronauts"), while leering spectators grabbed for her, missed, and tumbled into the drink. By dawn, the only thing that moved...
...structure of his film is determined by the nature of that subject in action. From this aesthetic of minimum interference are derived the techniques of direct cinema, the result of ways in which these film-makers are forced to work (since they cannot structure the situations to suit their techniques-the real world doesn't provide set-shots-they must adapt their techniques to the situations). Hence synchronous recording and close-shooting, most often with telephoto or zoom lenses. Direct cinema is therefore a simpler and more intimate style of exposing contradiction. The implicit contradictions in an intrinsically ironic situation...
Claude Chabrol's "La Muette" is a work as precise and beautiful as any of his features. Chabrol deliberately modified his style to suit the limitations of a 16mm camera and a stock whose grain texture cannot hold the details that commercial 35mm film can. Thus the frames do not have the astounding depth and dominance of background objects which we have come to associate with recent Chabrol. At the same time, however, the frames retain a three dimensional quality and a precise interaction of parts that has been the basis of all of Chabrol's work. Unlike Godard...
