...tens of thousands of schoolchildren waving flags, armed sailors and soldiers carefully spaced to prevent unruly exuberance. Down the freshly cleaned streets they drove, past prairies of rubble still redolent with the smell of refugees, even though special squads had worked all night to deodorize the area with scented water and citronella (the refugees had been settled elsewhere), on through the jumbled slums where Pakistani women, their pastel veils and head scarves fluttering in the sun, watched from roof tops. At Victoria Road, the two Presidents switched to a stately carriage drawn by six handsome horses. Under a gold-trimmed...

The greatest disparity was between these and the fortunate few--the rich and the "clubbies"--who maintained luxurious private dormitories on the "Gold Coast" of Mount Auburn street.

This is the metaphor at the core of this cruel, powerful picture from France, in which the New Wave of cinematic creation matches the high-water mark established by Black Orpheus (TIME, Nov. 16). Like that film, The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) is the work of an unknown: a 27-year-old cinema critic named Francois Truffaut, who made the film for only $110,000. Last May the picture won him the Cannes Film Festival's award for the year's best...
