...important scenes in French movies took place in bedrooms, but in De Gaulle's Fifth Republic this is no longer true-except for Brigitte Bardot films, and Brigitte, of course, is only for tourists. The most important cars are a forceful but overstated Facel-Vega in which Yves Montand takes Ingrid Bergman for drives, and a giddy Triumph roadster in which Anthony Perkins takes Ingrid for drives. The starring restaurant, to which Perkins takes Ingrid for meals, naturally is Maxim's. But the Deauville Casino does creditably in the supporting role of the place where Montand, consumed with...
...comedy all too much of the time. In point of fact, this is a very dud avocado, indeed. Co-featured is a travesty of William Faulkner, plagiaristically entitled SANCTUARY. Don't expect to recognize the characters if you read the book. Lee Remick whimpers as Temple Drake, and Yves Montand is hopelessly miscast as her down and way-out croole lover. Daily from...
...picture combines, condenses and reshapes the main story elements of Sanctuary (1931) and its sequel, Requiem for a Nun (1951). Abandoned by her drunken date (Bradford Dillman) at a backwoods distillery, the 17-year-old daughter (Lee Remick) of the governor is raped by the resident bootlegger (Yves Montand) and dragged off to a sporting house in New Orleans, where he keeps her for his private pleasure-which also turns out to be hers. After some weeks he is reported killed and the girl goes sadly home to Papa, who soothes what he assumes to be her injured innocence...
...excitement was the work of Christian Dior's little-known, untested Marc Bohan, 34. The Parisian-born son of a modiste, Bohan broke into haute couture in 1945 as an assistant designer at Patou, left Patou in 1958 to work under Dior's Boy Wonder Chief Designer Yves St. Laurent. When St. Laurent, after an unhappy stint in the French army, "retired" from Dior two months ago because of "ill health," Bohan, one of the few married male couturiers in Paris, took over. Few in Paris expected much from his debut, and St. Laurent fans were openly hostile...
Throughout the centuries, artists have used models in assorted ways, but no one has ever used them in quite the manner of Parisian Painter Yves Klein. He has his nude models smear themselves with paint, then lets them hurl themselves at a blank canvas while he shouts directions from a stepladder. By such tricks, Klein has become at 32 the fad of gallery-going France, and his prices have risen fourfold in the past two years. Last week he invaded West Germany with an eyebrow-raising exhibit in the textile town of Krefeld, twelve miles northwest of Düsseldorf...
