Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Anne Goupil is a literature student in Paris in 1957. Her elder brother, Pierre, takes her to a friend's party where the guests include Philip Kaufman, an expatriate American escaping McCarthyism, and Gerard Lenz, a theatre director who arrives with the mysterious woman Terry. The talk at the party is about the apparent suicide of their friend Juan, a Spanish activist who had recently broken up with Terry. Philip warns Anne that the forces that killed Juan will soon do the same to Gerard. Gerard is trying to rehearse Shakespeare's "Pericles", although he has no financial backing. Anne takes a part in the play to help Gerard, and to try to discover why Juan died. Written by Will Gilbert |

| Trivia | As an inside joke, in "The 400 Blows", the film Antoine and his parents go to see is "Paris Belongs to Us", which wouldn't be released for another two years. See more » |
| Goofs | Near the end, when Pierre is on a public phone at Dupleix, a poster near him reads "DIMANCHE 31 MAI" (Sunday 31 May), advertising a meeting of the Parti Socialiste Unifié. May 31st was a Sunday in 1959, and this scene was filmed in late 1958. However, the film is supposed to be taking place in June 1957, so it makes no sense that a meeting is being advertised nearly 2 years in advance. See more » |

Anne Goupil:
[reading aloud from Shakespeare's The Tempest]
Full fathom five thy father lies / Of his bones are coral made / Those are pearls that were his eyes / Nothing of him that doth fade / But doth suffer a sea-change / Into something rich and strange See more » |
