A sextet of French filmmakers collaborated on Six in Paris (originally Paris vu Par…) Jean Douchet directed the film’s first episode, Saint Germain-des-Pres, the story of the up-and-down relationship between a male model (Jean-Francois Chappey) and an American coed (Barbara Wilkin). Jean Rouch’s Gare du Nord is a haunting twist-of-fate tale involving a suicidal handsome stranger (Gilles Queant). Written and directed by Jean-Daniel Pollet, Rue Saint-Denis unites an experienced prostitute (Micheline Dax) with a garrulous customer (Claude Melki). Place de l’Etoile, a Chekhovian guilt trip involving salesman Jean-Michael Rouziere and shabby, supposedly dead street person Marcel Gallon, was Eric Rohmer’s contribution. Jean-Luc Godard’s Montparnasse-Levallois, photography by American documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles, finds Joanne Shimkus in an imaginary menage a trois. Six in Paris is topped off by Claude Chabrol’s La Muette, wherein a family man (played by Chabrol himself) comes to grief when he purchases a pair of earplugs.
