Mrs. Oxford’s horrible cooking is a running joke in this film. In one memorable scene, Bob Rusk climbs into a potato sack in order to retrieve a tie clip.

Its roots can be seen in “Birth of a New Avant-Garde,” a 1948 Alexander Astruc piece that originated the concept of le caméra-stylo. The hilarious essay “Circles and Squares,” which savagely attacked it, was part of Pauline Kael’s life-long feud with Andrew Sarris, the man who introduced this to America in 1962, while its first true definition came from 1954’s “A Certain Tendency in French Cinema” by François Truffaut.
