SHOOT THE PIANO PLAYER (France, 1960) Wednesday, February 8
3:30, 6:45, 9:15
Consciously refusing to be a prisoner of his first success, the highly personal The 400 Blows, FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT (Jules and Jim, Small Change), the best-loved of the New Wave directors, attempted in his second film to explode the American gangster genre by overloading it with disparate elements from other genres. The result, Shoot the Piano Player, is a constantly unpredictable tribute to the American "B" film, a psychological-comedy-thriller-love story, and remains TRUFFAUT's oddest work, Starring CHARLES AZNAVOUR and MARIE DUBOIS. (84 mins., b and w)
Plus: PULL MY DAISY (U.S.A., 1959). The first and most famous film to emerge from the group of New York-based "'beat" poets of the 1950's. Full of lackadaisical warmth and humor, it stars ALLEN GINSBERG, GREGORY CORSO, PETER ORLOVSKY, and LARRY RIVERS, with narration by JACK KEROUAC. (29 mins., b and w)

in the 1940's, stars SIMONE SIMON as a beautiful young woman who may have the power to transform herself into the murderous cat-creature that has been stalking Manhattan; a study in obsession and sexual repression, ominous and low-keyed, directed by JACQUES TOURNEUR. (73 mins., b and w)
Diabolique, directed by the late HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOT, concerns a wife-and-mistress team (cont. on page 10).
