John Young is a middle-aged American you wouldn't look at twice - average height, average build, a face you'd forget an hour later. But he has been rocketed into space five times, visited the moon twice and was Commander of the first Space Shuttle. Now the Chief Astronaut at NASA, he is the only man both to walk on the moon and to fly the Shuttle.
But for all this JOHN YOUNG remains, by his own choice, unknown to most people both here and in the States. Now, this media-shy ' reluctant hero' has agreed to talk about himself and his work.
In a few days, he is scheduled for another first in space when he takes the European Space Laboratory into orbit. Reporter Michal Dean

Starring Fernando Rey, Delphine Seyrig, Stephane Audran

Six characters keep meeting for dinner but somehow they never get to the end of the meal. A corpse is discovered, the army arrives on manoeuvres, rows break out - it is always the wrong time or the wrong place.

Luis Bunuel's savagely witty attack on middle-class mores and rituals was a huge success, especially with the society it so furiously lampoons.
