Truffaut himself appears as the harried director of a frivolous melodrama, the shooting of which is plagued by the whims of a neurotic actor ( The 400 Blows’ Jean-Pierre Léaud); an aging but still forceful Italian diva ( Juliet of the Spirits’ Valentina Cortese); and a British ingenue haunted by personal scandal ( Bullitt’s Jacqueline Bisset). An irreverant paean to the prosaic craft of cinema as well as a delightful human comedy about the pitfalls of love and sex, Day for Night is buoyed by robust performances and a sparkling score by the legendary Georges Delerue ( Contempt).
