Louis Malle attempts to do the impossible or at least the imprudent: to adapt Raymond Queneau's anarchic comic novel to the screen. Malle's loose visual equivalents to the book's verbal stunts inevitably fall short, but they are not nothing. His compulsive playfulness, while seldom terribly amusing, and often a bit numbing, makes this a sort of display-case of New Wave experimentalism. With Philippe Noiret. (1960) — Duncan Shepherd
