Cast: Brigitte Bardot, Jack Palance, Fritz Lang, Georgia Moll, Michel Piccoli, Jean-Luc Godard, Linda Veras; DIRECTED BY: Jean-Luc Godard; WRITTEN BY: Jean-Luc Godard; CINEMATOGRAPHY BY: Raoul Coutard; MUSIC BY: Georges Delerue. PRODUCER: Avco Embassy, Carlo Ponti.
Review: A film about the filming of a new version of "The Odyssey," and the rival visions of how to tell the story. Amusing look at the film business features Fritz Lang playing himself, Godard as his assistant. Bardot is pleasant scenery. Adapted from Moravia's "A Ghost at Noon."
