  1. Moves us now because it's so playful and the players are so young - and because later, when Godard tried to play for keeps, in his self-consciously radical films of the late '60s and '70s, he began to lose his game.

    Godard's third feature film and his first in color, A Woman is a Woman is one of the most enjoyable of all the master's works.

    Only intermittently bright. Too much homage to Yank musicals and comedies point up the lack of polish.
  4. 60
    Godard light, but not lite: Its breezy postures front for melancholia.
