The film was "La Mariee etait en noir (The Bride Wore Black)" 1967,
directed by the great Francois Truffaut and starring Jeanne Moreau,
Claude Rich and Jean-Claude Brialy. The film was Truffaut's homage to
Hitchcock's thrillers.  Restrained by her relatives from committing
suicide after her bridegroom has been shot dead on the church steps at
their wedding, Julie Kohler (Moreau) resolves to seek out and kill the
five men accidently responsible.

The Secret Policeman's Third Ball film opens in London on friday
(25th) and features Kate Bush, Jackson Browne, Lou Reed and Peter
Gabriel.

There are two albums being released as well - one of the comedy items
and one of the musical interludes. The musical album features 10 songs
and according to Q magazine: "Highlights of the music are a punchy
performance of Running Up That Hill, on which Kate Bush is backed
enthusiastically by Dave Gilmour and Nick Mason ...". There is no
mention of whether Let it be is also featured.  The CD version
contains an extra two tracks. Haven't seen the record in the shops yet
but it should be available very soon.
