The Love Game (in French). A happy, bawdy, and always violently spontaneous little Parisian pajama party, billed as the first New Wave comedy, in which the exquisitely funny Jean-Pierre Cassel refuses to make Geneviève Cluny a mother, much less an honest woman.

Butterfield 8. The crude but affecting tart's tragedy of the O'Hara novel has become a sleek and libidinous lingerie meller — featuring Elizabeth Taylor as an enthusiastic amateur.

General della Rovere (in Italian). Roberto Rossellini's first topflight film since Paisan (1946) tells the moving story of a petty larcenist, skillfully played by Vittorio De Sica, who through wartime suffering becomes the hero he was forced to impersonate.

Weddings and Babies. The personal hell of a small-time photographer torn between his mother and his mistress is filmed to artless, disheveled perfection by Independent Producer Morris Engel.

It Happened in Broad Daylight. Swiss Author Friedrich Duerrenmatt's story about a professional policeman's obsessive pursuit of a killer works up an uncommon amount of suspense, thanks to excellent performances by Gert Frobe and Heinz Rühmann.
