Our Special Subject this month is the films of Jacqueline\xa0Audry, a fairly recently rediscovered postwar French director. We watched all of the films we could find with English subtitles:\xa0Gigi\xa0(1949),\xa0Olivia\xa0(1951),\xa0Huis clos/No Exit\xa0(1954), and\xa0Les petits matins/Hitch-Hike\xa0(1962). From literary adaptations of some strong and scandalous material to an unusually gentle New Wave comedy, these films reveal a director who tackles the erotic frankly but not uncritically. We also have a Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto segment this week, in which we share our wildly divergent opinions on the Bob Fosse musical\xa0Sweet Charity. Can Shirley MacLaine do what Daniel Day-Lewis could not and save this unnecessary musical adaptation of a Fellini movie?
