There's clearly a lot of mileage in the seven deadly sins as the several film versions testify. There was a half-decent version in 1952, ten years earlier than this entry, one that had the advantage of talents like Michele Morgan going for it.
It's hard to find anything to like here; certainly not the Godard segment which is a bigger joke than his breakthrough movie Brainless. In that one he followed Jean-Paul Belmondo with a hand-held camera as he walked up the Champs Elysee and back down again. Anxious to show how far he has come on this time he follows Eddie Constantine as he Drives from the Billancourt studios into Paris proper. Some progress. Elsewhere we have the one about the group of students who pool their resources so that one of them can get laid by a top-of-the-range hooker, a bizarre piece about flies in the soup leading to Armageddon, a Biter Bit episode and other unimaginative segments. Basically it's a waste of sprocket holes.
