La guerre est finie 1966 Alain Resnais’ film of the Spanish Communist resistance to Franco’s dictatorship that consisted of illegal political action managed from Paris by a corps of aging agents of whom Diago (Yves Montand) is ready to throw in the towel after some 25 years of fruitless cat and mouse maneuvers, which, nonetheless, have not dulled his appetite for amour in the person of Nadine (Geneviève Bujold, 24 at the time but looking even less that the 18 of the film) while even this so delightful a conquest can’t dislodge his world weary countenance. As the French police are aiding the Spanish in apprehending the Reds, a Byzantine maze of subterfuge must be employed making tracking the players difficult tho’ the camera tracks Diago almost exclusively and the general outlines of the plot are clear enough. The film ends in a manner emphasizing the episodic nature of the struggle of which the film is just a brief segment.

Bujold, reminding me somehow of Betty Page. Or was it Mary Tyler Moore.
