I have been beside myself. Truffaut was a big thing for me in my film school days, but there are so many of his more obscure films I've never seen. The last few Fridays have been bliss. Your post is a lot easier to navigate than the TCM schedule I get by email, and they don't have plot synopsis. So thanks for the service, alerting us all to this terrific filmmaker's works. Especially looking forward to seeing Caron in "The Man Who Loved Women."Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-50675547335498934562013-07-11T21:35:52.897-07:002013-07-11T21:35:52.897-07:00I'm having the same kind of summer, Ruth, and ...I'm having the same kind of summer, Ruth, and my DVR is getting dangerously full...awfully glad this post inspires you to record some Truffaut on TCM - enjoy!

However, after reading your post, I will record some of these to savour at a future date. I know I'll be silently thanking you for this when I watch them later. :)Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-9238040175769042162013-07-09T08:19:53.539-07:002013-07-09T08:19:53.539-07:00Greg, What a wonderful idea for your group to host...Greg, What a wonderful idea for your group to host a Truffaut series - and thanks for linking me to your site.

A couple of months ago several Alain Delon films were shown back-to-back and Catherine Deneuve will soon have her day as part of SUTS 2013. Hope you enjoy all the Truffaut - there is a gentleness in his work combined with sharp intelligence that is unique and very appealing.

Most curious about the ones I haven't seen, of course: Mississippi Mermaid (Deneuve and Belmondo + it's a Hitchcock cycle film), The Green Room, The Woman Next Door and Confidentially Yours, plus the short films. If you blog on Truffaut, let me know, would love to get your take.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-65180186474223674472013-07-05T15:33:35.399-07:002013-07-05T15:33:35.399-07:00Christian, Truffaut films were art/revival house s...Christian, Truffaut films were art/revival house staples in my youth and I saw many of them then - and haven't seen most of those since. The Last Metro pops up on TV from time to time, but the others, rarely.

I haven't seen Mississippi Mermaid yet, but of the "Hitchcock cycle" films I have seen, The Bride Wore Black seems the most obviously Hitchcockian.
