Truffaut. The stylish, light-hearted yet tragic Jules and Jim (1962) is one of the very best films of the 60s, one of the peaks of the French "New Wave", and the best film Francois Truffaut has made. Jeanne Moreau is the center of attraction for two close friends in the lively story which begins in pre-WWI Paris. Like Two English Girls (1972), it is based on a novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, but the latter film is little more than a poor parody of the witty, self-conscious style of Jules and Jim.
The Producers. Crazy Zero Mostel comedy about a con man who wants to produce a Broadway flop, and finds one--called "Springtime for Hitler"--that seems to fit the bill.
The Third Man. Orson Welles stars in this adaptation of Graham Greene's "entertainment." Vienna afficionados will recognize the Cafe Mozart; beer drinkers will note the zither theme song later used for Waldech commercials.
