The original novel 'Jules et Jim' by Henri-Pierre Roché, on which the movie is based, was published.
The French New Wave film 'Jules and Jim', directed by François Truffaut and based on the novel, was released.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
