The Murphy Brown star was, of course, married to Malle for the last fifteen years of his life. This interview, then, if far more personal than Billiard's. Bergen's focus is on Malle's restless, vital intellect.

If the well-to-do Malle had a kindred spirit in that movement, it was the lower middle class Francois Truffaut. Both, unlike Godard and Chabrol, were creatures of the heart rather than the head. But where Truffaut's genius concentrated largely on the romantically slighted, Malle's great talent lay in getting audiences to accept his characters until their most absurd or offensive actions earned a seal of approval.
