François Truffaut updates us on the no longer worrisome Jean-Pierre Léaud character from The 400 Blows, who, posted now in a private eye's job, has developed into a sort of young Bob Hope, bumbling and flailing to no ill effect in a world of lambs, over which Truffaut hovers protectively, cacklingly, a bit bird-brainedly. Moments -- for instance, the tracing of the path taken by a letter through a network of pneumatic tubes -- reassert the director's deftness, but they are rare. With Delphine Seyrig. (1969) — Duncan Shepherd
