The movie, despite the charges of propaganda, is relatively hardnosed and intelligent compared to some of the documents that come out of Hollywood. Yves Montand, star of Z, takes on the new role of villain in this movie. The film was scripted by Franco Salinas, who also wrote the screen play for The Battle of Algiers. The film will be shown at the Science Center tonight and tomorrow at 7 and 9. Danny Schechter...

Resnais's movie will touch you, inform you, will make...
...Yves St. Laurent accented femininity even in suits tailored in men's checkered or pin-stripe fabrics. They are worn with print, tie-neck, full blouses that ease into soft yokes in back and bands at wrist or elbow. St. Laurent's beloved tunic reappeared, belted over wide pants or pleated skirts. For daytime dresses, he used every sort of pleat-box, inverted, knife, flat, broad-to gain an almost subliminal, flickering effect...
