Alphaville (1965) - Jean-Luc Godard

“On Sunday evening, September 26, 1965, Clara prepared for her nightly bout with insomnia by watching a telecast of The Virginian, a 1929 western starring Gary Cooper and directed by Victor Fleming. A nurse substituting for Estella Smith sat in a chair beside her. At six minutes past midnight, Clara’s head slumped suddenly against her pillow. In someone else the motion might have been mistaken for sleep, but her nurse knew better. For once and forever, Clara Bow would rest in peace.”
David Stenn, “Clara Bow, Runnin’ Wild”, page 280.
