Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Contempt), presently riding the crest of the New Wave, began the festival with his most recent film, Alphaville. His hero, Lemmy Caution, is a cross between Dick Tracy and Flash Gordon, spiced with a touch of Humphrey Bogart. (At one point we catch Caution reading The Big Sleep.)

Neon signs flash mathematical formulas across the screen, and the computer growls instructions from what looks like a CBS recording studio...

The first string spent most of the fourth quarter relaxing on the bench, as Notre Dame, sticking to the ground and only once bothering to punt, outgained California...
