| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Alphaville |
|---|
Near future film in which detective Lemmy Caution (as Tarzan) is assigned to rescue a scientist (vs) from a City controlled by a Super Computer (IBM), and Dr. Von Braun, its creator. Film Noir-inspired more than a truly futuristic look at society, Paris stands in as the City of the Future.
--Herman the German, Resident Scholar
