Independent distributors Olive Films have added four more titles to their June slate: Jean Luc-Godard's
Comment ça va? (1978) and
Soigne ta droite (1978), Samuel Fuller's
Shark! (1969), and Lewis R. Foster's
Crashout (1955).
Crashout
Convict Van Duff engineers a large-scale prison break. The six survivors hide out in a forgotten mine working near the prison, then set out on a long, dangerous journey by foot, car, train and truck to retrieve Duff's bank loot. En route, as they touch the lives of "regular folks," each has his own rendezvous with destiny. Starring William Bendix, Arthur Kennedy, and Luther Adler.
Shark!
Burt Reynolds stars as Kane, a smooth, fast talking gun-runner who loses his shipment of arms and becomes stranded in a small port city on the Mediterranean. Finding himself hard up for cash, he tries to scam his way out of town without success. His luck changes when he runs into Anna (Silvia Pinal), a seductive siren of the sea. Anna propositions Kane to work for her and her partner, the Professor (Arthur Kennedy), who are supposedly doing research in the shark infested waters off the coast.
Comment ça va? a.k.a How Is It Going?
A film about politics and the media, in which two workers in a newspaper plant attempt to make a film. Directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville. Starring Michel Marot and Anne-Marie Miéville.
Soigne ta droite a.k.a Keep Your Right Up
Jean-Luc Goddard wrote, directed, and edited this mind-boggling comedy. "The Idiot" (also known as "the Prince," and played by Godard himself) has been guaranteed financing for a film, if he can deliver it within 24 hours. But he encounters all sorts of hilarious problems as he attempts to do so. Meanwhile, a pop group works on a new album. Starring Jane Birkin, Dominique Lavanant, and Pauline Lafont.
