In the August-September 1954 issue of Cahiers du Cinema commenced a new monthly feature at the back of each issue called "Films released in Paris from 'x' date to 'y' date" where all the films released in Paris in the last month were listed and the films not reviewed by Cahiers were usually briefly commented on.
In the January 1965 issue, Cahiers recorded the release of Michel Deville's film Lucky Jo in the "Films released" feature with this comment,

A rather beautiful story, blandly told, of an unlucky gangster, who, full of good will, sets in motion the collapse of everything which he touches. In sum, a devilleienne autobiography. (Cahiers du Cinema, January 1965, page 152, my translation)

In the March 1965 issue of Cahiers, the following two letters to the editor objecting to this short note were published on the "Cahiers des lecteurs" page.

The legitimate fears that many can have will vanish quickly, if you continue in this manner. "Yeye" will not destroy "Jazz Magazine", why will it kill Cahiers?... What have you done to Deville? If you don't like him, don't put off others over it. This is a sensitive and elegant director and his Lucky Jo is a marvel of poetry and humanity. André Ondarsumu (Cahiers du Cinema, March 1965, page 5, my translation)
... I regret how there abides in some collaborators a sectarian state stripped of all objectivity. I am thinking precisely of the latest Chabrol, Le Tigre aime le chair fraiche, which was made the object of a laudatory column while the latest Deville, Lucky Jo, saw itself allotted a few ironic lines. Without being a masterpiece, this little film is clearly superior to that so-called "Chabrolesque de-Bondization" and, on that subject, you will have the pleasure to establish, if possible, a parallel with Goldfinger, notably for the sequence of the automobile compacter. J-L Couturier (Cahiers du Cinema, March 1965, page 5, my translation)

Cahiers responded

We have nothing against Deville. As proof, the laudatory reviews of Ce soir ou jamais, Adorable menteuse and À cause, à cause d'une femme... But, there was no one to be found at Cahiers to champion L'Appartement des filles or Lucky Jo. Thus, there is no necessity to conclude a general hostility towards Deville, even if appearances, this time are against us. Those who liked the film greatly (Truffaut, for example, or de Givray) were not in Paris for the publication of that issue. And the "list of films released from ... to ..." had to be compiled. That said, Mr Ondarsumu and Mr Couturier are correct in criticizing the accused notice for excessive harshness: meanwhile, several other letters were received from readers in the same sense. In the future, we will try to be less undeserved, or better to take responsibility for our arbitrariness. (cf. as concerns thhis regard, in the back [of that issue], the revision of "List of films..."
