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.
The most playful film to come out of the French New Wave, it's also the last time Jean-Luc Godard appeared to have any fun.
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.
There are a couple of absurdly nonchalant song-and-dance sequences, though mostly, Michel Legrand's sumptuous music swells in anticipation of showstoppers that never happen.
Only intermittently bright. Too much homage to Yank musicals and comedies point up the lack of polish.
Godard light, but not lite: Its breezy postures front for melancholia.
What may have seemed energetic and innovative four decades ago is fairly enervated today, and only the most rabid Godard fanatics will find reason to seek out its new theatrical re-release.
