I didn't know that about Shirley Maclaine and that movie. I'll definitely watch that. Love Shirley, especially in Some Came Running.

If you can, try and watch La Strada and Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar one after the other. They're almost identical but manage to complement and in a way complete one another. Im not sure if that was Bresson's intention when making Balthazar (I'm sure it wasn't) but, well I'm also sure you'll get my point if you watch them like that. Individually they're both fantastic but placed side by side they become a kind of epiphany. They should be put together in a boxset.
