French New-Wave Filmmaker Dies at 71. (New York Times ) De Broca’s 1966 King of Hearts, an antiwar twist on the time-honored theme of the inmates running the asylum, was a constant presence in my life, having an engagement at Cambridge’s Central Square Cinema in the ’70’s of more than five years in length. The City of Cambridge ought to do something to commemorate his passing; and now is a particularly apt time for a revival of the film.
