Hasn't Westlake bought the US rights to "Made in USA" and
forbidden its screenings there? Godard's film is one of his
most annoying films and clearly one of his most
postmodernist. Anna Karina is Parker and Jean-Paul Belmondo
plays a writer called David Goodis. Jean-Pierre Leaud reads a
W.R. Burnett novel.
