  1. "Celine and Julie Go Boating" grew out of an aborted Rivette project called "Phoenix." It was to have starred Jeanne Moreau as a stage actress and Juliet Berto as her dresser. But Rivette though it was too close to "All About Eve" and decided that he wanted to do something different, specifically a comedy. Rivette and Eduardo De Gregorio came up with the basic idea of "Celine and Julie" but all the cast contributed -- and get credit for it. Yes these more than a soupcon of the Sapphic. But it doesn't really take root as the film is about rescuing one's childhood and therefore is pre-sexual.
