Oct. ’63 Winner of the special jury award at the 1962 Venice Film Festival, this Pierre Braunberger production is an episodic drama in which the noted French director, Jean-Luc Godard, who scored an art house hit with “Breathless,” stars his Danishborn wife, Anna Karina. While many of the avant-garde enthusiasts will find the picture interesting. it has little to offer regular moviegoers. Godard is the sole selling name. The director, who also wrote the script, uses a technique reminiscent of the silent days by preceding each of the 12 episodes in the life of a Parisian streetwalker with a title such as “A street — the first client — a room.” Then, focusing almost entirely on the attractive Miss Karina, Godard gives us the frank and pathetically dreary details of the girl’s life as a prostitute. The most startling is the episode dealing with the sordid prices and rates, informative as this may be. The picture ends with the girl’s death by shooting after being sold to a procurer. Miss Karina is the only player of consequence, the others are adequate but mean nothing. It’s strictly adult fare. Anna Karina, Sandy Rebbot, Andre Labartre, Giselle Schlumberger, Peter Kassowltz. The Sound of Trumpets Drams Janus Films 90 Minutes Rel. Nov. ’63 The first feature by a new young Italian director Ermanno Olmi, which was released as “II Posto” in Italy, is a poignant and sensitive drama which won the critics prize at the Venice Film Festival. Olmi, who also wrote the screenplay, used two non-professionals, his wife Loredana Detto and a fine young player, Sandro Panzeri, as the leads, supported by a large cast of uncredited people — thus the picture will have to rely on favorable word-of-mouth at the art spots. Because of its lack of name players and its semi-documentary quality, it will have scant appeal for general audiences, more’s the pity. The original title, which translates as “The Job,” is far more descriptive of the film, which deals entirely with the fear and loneliness of a youth who gets his first job in a Milan industrial plant. During the clerical tests, he meets a girl also applying. Although his first is an office-boy job, they later meet for lunch but, when he goes to the office New Year’s Eve party, she fails to show up. Later, he is promoted to assistant clerk. That’s all that happens but the tale is so full of recognizable human and amusing touches and the sad-eyed Panzeri is so appealing and pathetic as the youth that audiences will find it delightfully true-to-life. Miss Detto and the many character types are just about perfect. A Titanus-24 Horses production. Sandro Panzeri, Loredana Detto. SHORT SUBJECT REVIEW The Old Man and the Flower Union Films (Animated cartoon) 8 Minutes Another of Ernest Pintoff’s delightful cartoons, this little gem deals with a “grubby old man” who falls in love with a purple flower, which he finds, then loses and finally is reunited with. The dialog is comical, yet pathetic, and is amusingly spoken in the Jewish dialect voice of Dayton Allen, who narrates. This is equal to Pintoff’s prize-winning “The Critic.” 10 BOXOFFICE BookinGuide :: Dec. 2, 1963
