Ditto to Breathless. If they're gonna be wrong, they should at least pick a year and stick with it.

Oh, and check your PMs.

I'm convinced 59-60 were the greatest back-to-back years in the history of film.

I dunno, these dates from IMDB have an air of authenticity to them. I mean they've got it down to the day and even an appearance at a film festival.

France 16 March 1960 (Paris)
Japan 26 March 1960
West Germany June 1960 (Berlin International Film Festival)

The Criterion DVD says 1960 for what its worth and so does Jean Douchet in his book (although it also says Olivier Assayas' Irma Vep came out in 1956!), and he was a Cahiers critic and filmmaker then.
Luc Moullet's review of the film comes from April 1960.

Is Le Trou worth a blind buy? Seems like something I'd really dig (not to mention my dad likes prison movies and Touchez pas au grisbi), so might grab it before the end of the consensus.
